Habitat for Humanity was founded as a Christian organization, and continues to maintain an ecumenical Christian identity. Nevertheless, Habitat welcomes and works closely with people of all faiths, belief systems, and walks of life. Together, we work as a team to improve lives and support communities. We encourage churches, mosques, temples and other religious organizations to sign a “Covenant” with Habitat – establishing a lasting and meaningful connection between the two groups. Habitat is called to serve the same struggling people many faith-based organizations aim to assist. Together, we will be stronger.
