Why involve your church?

By involving your church you are putting your faith and love into action in a meaningful and powerful way. Each Habitat home that your church builds or helps build serves as a lasting reminder of God's grace. It is difficult to ignore such a tangible expression of love. The community notices when people work together as an instrument of God's love. Within and among congregations, people experience a strong sense of unity and purpose when together they reach out to their neighbours in need.

How your congregation can help:

• Pray for the work of Habitat for Humanity and families in need throughout Canada
• Sponsor a Home
• Make a cash donation
• Offer in-kind goods and services
• Gather members of the congregation to volunteer on the building site (no experience necessary)
• Provide meals and snacks for workers during a build project
• Involve your youth group
  -Take part in a build
  -Organize a fundraiser
• Invite a Habitat representative to speak at your church to increase awareness
• Study groups can read and discuss "The Theology of the Hammer" by Millard Fuller (call 1-800-667-5137 to purchase a copy). This publication outlines Habitat's biblical principles.
