Apostles Build Project
What is the Apostles Build Project?
The Apostles Build is a partnership that allows twelve (or more) individual churches to join together to build and fund a home for a local family. As Jesus' original apostles were charged with spreading the word about Him, our twelve apostles are charged with assisting in Habitat's mission to provide shelter for God's children. The work of Habitat for Humanity is driven by the desire to give tangible expression to the love of God through the work of eliminating substandard housing. It is appropriate that the church--Christ's body in the world--is Habitat's primary partner in its work.
How did the Apostles Build start?
The Apostles Build ("AB") Project is a program which we started locally in 2007. There have been three completed Apostles Build Project houses.
How can your church get involved?
