FAITH BUILD………Putting your faith into ACTION!
Be a part of an exciting and transforming experience as we build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in our community. Faith Build is a partnership between Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, local churches, and businesses, and helps homeowners achieve the independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Churches and faith groups are invited to participate in Faith Build through prayer, volunteerism, and financial support. We also invite churches 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.
Faith Build gives church 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 others in the community.
Here are some ideas for putting faith into action:
