Faith Relations


Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian housing organization. The work of Habitat for Humanity is driven by the desire to give tangible expression to God’s love through the work of eliminating poverty housing.

Habitat for Humanity partners with individuals of all faiths, or no faith. Habitat provides an opportunity for people to put their faith into action and to bring diverse groups of people together to build homes and community.

Churches, temples and coalitions of diverse faith groups partner to provide significant support to Habitat for Humanity’s local and global mission each year by contributing volunteers and financial resources.

 
 

Habitat's faith in action

How can your Faith Community get involved with Habitat for Humanity?
  • Apostle Build - Come together as one of 12 churches, or coalitions of churches, to build a Habitat for Humanity house in Seattle/ South King County.  Churches raise the money and provide the labor and prayer support to build a house in partnership with a local family. 
  • Volunteer- lend a hand building houses, serving on committees or helping in the office. Skilled and unskilled workers are welcome.
  • Family Support – partner with families selected for a Habitat home. Tutor, mentor and work alongside families as they build and learn about being a homeowner.
  • Collect – organize a Sunday school or congregational drive to collect family tool kits and job site supplies.
  • Donate – support Habitat through fund raising and offerings – become a financial partner - sponsor a roof, a room or a whole house.
  • Education & Advocacy – tell the story about substandard housing and the mission of Habitat - in your church and in your community.
  • Youth – participate in a four day local mission experience encompassing building, fundraising, advocacy and education.
  • Pray – pray continually for the work of Habitat – alone or with others. Prayer is essential for helping those in dire need of housing, to eradicating substandard housing and to end homelessness.
