Representing Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the values and teachings of Jesus Christ. Our ministry accepts and helps people of all faiths or no faith. It is acceptable to exemplify and communicate our Christian foundations and values; however, Habitat representatives should not be involved with converting others to any religion.

Open involvement in politics is also unacceptable when representing Habitat for Humanity.
