Church Missions
How can churches help?
- Volunteers for construction. Individuals with skills are welcome. Teams can come on a Saturday and work on a particular task which is labor intensive: siding, insulation, clean up, framing, roofing, etc.
- Volunteer to do a brief (5 minute) devotional at the start of our Saturday work to, to prepare workers and volunteers for the work day and keep our focus on Christ and our mission to change the lives of the family members we are building for.
- Would your church be willing to consider financial support or have a fundraiser event which would help further our mission to build for people who are living in substandard housing and financial hardship? Our need is immense, our mission is effective and we have helped many who fit the criteria.
- Historically Habitat for Humanity has been a church supported mission where many churches of different denominations participate in the common goal of overcoming substandard housing problems by working together under the umbrella of Jesus Christ.
- We have a need for Board of Director members who have specific gifts, talents, interest. We are always looking for the person with an objective, empathetic heart to understand our mission, discernment when dealing with our applicants, willingness to pray, and discuss very important issues which are life changing, and come along side the partners we are building for and see the metamorphosis in their lives.
