Faith Communities
As an ecumenical
Christian
Ministry
, Habitat for Humanity is founded on principles that transcend theological and
religious differences. Simply put, Habitat provides people of all faiths an
opportunity to live in a decent home. From the partnership of volunteers,
sponsors, and homeowners, evolves a network of lasting friendships and
communities. Your Congregation can partner with
Española
Valley
and Los Alamos County Habitat for Humanity.
Our
love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows
itself in action.
- 1 John
3:18
NASB
Congregations
of all sizes can support Habitat for Humanity in a variety of ways.
A Habitat project can be customized to meet the needs of your faith
organization. Consider how Habitat for Humanity could help your congregation
meet ministry and missions goals. Projects can be designed for students,
singles, small groups or the entire group.
Reasons to get involved:
- Habitat projects can help
build any faith organization. A Habitat project can be just the spark that
gets people in your organization excited about working with the community.
- Building together allows
people to put their faith in action.
- The opportunity to work
on a Habitat for Humanity build site can attract visitors and offers
opportunities to build relationships.
- Individuals can
experience spiritual growth through their service to others.
- Lives
are changed.
How to get involved:
- Build a House - on your own or join with other churches to
serve God's people in need by sponsoring a house.
- Financial Support - adopt the Habitat ministry as a mission’s
partner or make special offerings to support the ministry.
- Volunteer - organize volunteers to work regularly or on a
special work day. Serve on Habitat committees or focus teams.
- Pray - our mission is empowered when the community of faith
prays for Habitat and when congregations join as partners in discipleship
and service.
