Habitat

Westminster Presbyterian Church & Habitat for Humanity

We look forward to 2018 and the start of another Habitat for Humanity Home on September 8. Please join us—you need no building experience to join in the fun of the build, as you will learn amazing skills on site—and the crews are ever thankful for your delicious meals. Construction volunteers, please click here. Food volunteers, please email Sylvia Leins.

Remember, the project is completely funded by your annual pledges, so please consider amending your pledge if you forgot to include your donation to the Habitat project. To God be the glory!
