Church Relations

Habitat for Humanity and the Church
Church Relations seeks to help affiliates and national offices around the world create and sustain effective church partnerships. In addition, we seek to help maintain Habitat’s identity and focus as a Christian ministry.

Many Habitat affiliates enjoy tremendous support from churches and other faith groups, but we have the potential to do so much more, especially in the Africa and Middle East area. Imagine the possibilities if we could partner more churches in every community and in every country.

A Christian Ministry Calling Churches to Action
Habitat for Humanity was created to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, so it is natural that the church – Christ’s body in the world – should be a primary partner in Habitat’s work.

Churches are essential in grounding the work of Habitat in the gospel message and under girding the ministry of Habitat in prayer. The most successful Habitat for Humanity affiliates are the ones with the strongest church support, and have proven to be Habitat’s most reliable and long-term partners.
