Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County
Team Up with Churches to End Poverty Housing
Habitat for Humanity is about tearing down walls and building bridges. It is about bringing hope and transforming lives. It is about serving God by serving others.

The vision of Habitat is that all people will have a decent place in which to live. Trust in God propels this movement forward and works for change  to bring hope to those in need.  As a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing ministry, Habitat and churches in La Plata County are natural partners. By working together, we can serve God's people and provide simple, decent housing to low-income families.

How do churches partner with Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County?  

Habitat's ministry is based on the conviction that to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ we must reflect Christ's love in our own lives by loving and caring for one another. Our love must not be words only—it must be true love, which shows itself in action. Habitat provides an opportunity for people to put their faith and love into action, bringing diverse groups of people together to make affordable housing and better communities a reality for everyone.

Through Prayer
Every home is built through prayer. Prayer is foundational to our mission as we partner together as witnesses of Jesus Christ in the world.

Through Service
Habitat homes are affordable because of the volunteers who devote their time to serve their neighbor. Build strength and unity within your congregation as you work toward the common goal of helping others.

 
If you would like information about church partnerships, please contact Nadine Chaney-Orantes at (790) 382-9735.
Become more involved in the community through your church! Call us and we will build hope together.

Be Ye Doers
I have shown you in every way, by labor like this, that you must support the weak.  And remember the words of Lord Jesus, that He said "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Acts 20:35
