Mission Statement
“We may disagree on all sorts of other things, but we can agree on the idea of building homes with God's people in need, and in doing so using biblical economics: no profit and no interest.”
—Millard Fuller

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit Christian organization driven by the desire to express the love of God through the work of eliminating poverty in the United States and beyond. Our mission is based off three theological concepts:
· Putting Faith into Action: Our love for Jesus Christ and helping individuals in need must not be by words only—it must show through 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.
· “Economics of Jesus”: Giving in response to human need without any profit seeking expectation creates the “economics of Jesus” perspective. It is in this belief we believe God will magnify our efforts working open-heartedly.
· “Theology of the Hammer”: Habitat is a partnership founded on common ground—bridging theological differences by putting love & faith into action. Everyone can use the hammer as an instrument to manifest God's love.
