Working Together in Faith 

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide. Habitat was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety. We believe that by putting our faith into action, we can help accomplish this, one family at a time. 
 
Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity welcomes people of all races, religions and backgrounds to build with us in partnership. Our ministry brings diverse groups of people together to work for the betterment of the entire community. We are committed to doing God’s work in the world - bringing hope and transforming lives.
 
There are a number of ways your faith community can become involved, including prayer, financial assistance and volunteer services. Currently we are forming new Circles of Faith - groups of two or more churches that work together to sponsor a Habitat home.
 
For more information about how your group can become a part of this ministry, please contact:

Hope for the Holidays
 
A big thanks to Valley United Methodist for their ongoing support of Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity.  The congregation collected $2,415.79 in free-will donations for Habitat during their "No Room at the Inn" nativity festival.  Held December 4-6, the festival attracted more than 800 guests to view well-over 300 artfully arranged nativities. 

Sherry Robinson, event chairperson, and Rev. Emmanuel Tabelisma, pastor, are pictured at right.
