Faith Programs
All faith organizations (congregations, schools, networks) are invited to join us in this life transforming ministry!
Faith in the Neighborhood
A faithful effort to transform houses, lives and neighborhoods
A partnership between:
Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake
Paul’s Place
Faith organizations from the Baltimore & Anne Arundel County Area
The goal:
To build affordable housing throughout the Baltimore City area and Anne Arundel County
How it gets done:
- All partners contribute to the purchase cost & rehab of vacant homes
- Faith organizations send volunteers to work on rehabbing the homes
- Habitat of the Chesapeake homeowners work side by side with volunteers and purchase the homes when completed.
- Homeowners and staff are available to come and speak to your organization.
How YOU can get involved:
- Make a pledge to support the work through prayer or volunteering
- Sponsor a house: Raise the funds and volunteers to build a house
- Join a coalition: Several coalitions exist that allow congregations to partner together to raise the funds for sponsoring a house.
- Join the Interfaith Volunteer Corps: A coalition of the three Abrahamic faiths that raise money, consciousness and walls to build homes and bridges between the faiths.
- Faith in the Neighborhood partner/Covenant Congregation : contribute prayer, time and/or money to the building of all the homes we work on.
Where will we be building?
- In Washington Village/Pigtown on Ward Street.
- The Interfaith Coalition will build wherever needed.
- The Annapolis Coalitions will be working on Clay Street in the spring.
