FAITH BUILD………Putting your faith into ACTION!
Though Habitat has Christian roots, we welcome all faiths to come together to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Congregations and faith groups are invited to participate in Faith Build through prayer, volunteerism, and financial support. We also welcome congregations to builds throughout the year or to join one of four faith-based partnerships!
On an annual basis we come together to make a difference through our Faith Build event in one of our local communities. Check back for upcoming information about our 2023 Faith Build.
A Faith Build gives your congregation members a concrete way to put their faith into action and see tangible results. It also:
- Builds community within your congregation.
- Empowers members to serve in the community.
- Gives people of faith an opportunity to engage in serving others.
- Helps build community among all faith groups.
Here are some ideas for putting faith into action:
