Flatirons Habitat for Humanity is encouraging faith communities to establish Habitat Ministry Teams. Some churches have already found such a group very useful. Though each faith community will consider this action in a different way, we hope the following information will be helpful.

A Habitat Ministry Team:

• is a group of people who will advocate and organize in their faith community for Flatirons Habitat
• may choose to meet regularly (monthly, quarterly, etc.) or on an as-needed basis (in response to Habitat information that has come to the congregation).
• are invited to have one of their members join the affiliate’s Faith Connections Committee, a group that helps to organize and support the affiliate’s partnerships with congregations in the community.
• supports Flatirons Habitat by:
  • assisting or representing the pastor with his or her Habitat involvement,
  • keeping Flatirons Habitat’s mission and need for support in the forefront of their congregation’s Outreach/Missions committee to ensure ongoing financial support,
  • recruiting individuals to participate in Habitat activities, and
  • developing a plan to grow their congregation’s involvement with Habitat over time.

Flatirons Habitat will support Habitat Ministry Teams by:

• providing informational literature, educational, devotional and promotional materials;
  • Looking for a new idea for VBS? Take a look at Habitat’s VBS curriculum!
• Working with the congregation’s Ministry Team to help garner support and educate the congregation on the issues of homelessness, poverty housing and the need for affordable housing in our community.
• Provide speakers as requested.
