Churches are the primary partners that work with Habitat in an almost infinite variety of creative overlapping circles. We cherish these partnerships with churches…I have always seen Habitat for Humanity as a servant of the church and as a vehicle through which the church and its people can express their love, faith, and servanthood to people in need in a very tangible and concrete (literally!) way.

For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.

We want to make it socially, morally, politically and religiously unacceptable to have substandard housing and homelessness.

In various ways all of us should be constantly finding people and situations that are dead, buried, and covered up in order to help bring them to the light because THE GOD THAT WE SERVE is a God of LIGHT, a God of LOVE, and a God of CARING.

Everyone who gets sleepy at night should have a simple decent place to lay their heads, on terms they can afford to pay.

Nobody loves a good worship service more than I do, but we are called to make religion real, to make our faith come alive. Helping others have a decent place to live is one way to do that and it doesn't take too long for others to recognize it, too.

Faith must become more than a verbal proclamation or an intellectual assent. True faith must be acted out.
