Faith in Action

James 2:14-17

Building with faith, serving with love

Sharing God’s love through service.

Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity has been working in our community since 1989. During this, we’ve been able to build up our community and give a hand up and out of poverty to families in need.

Get Involved Today

The Faith in Action Committee and Build Group plays a vital role in fostering, enhancing, and facilitating the affiliate’s connections with local churches. Additionally, they actively pursue partnerships with Covenant Churches and uphold strong relationships with churches already engaged in our mission.

Members of the Faith in Action Committee demonstrate their commitment by actively raising funds to sponsor Habitat homes. Moreover, they tirelessly work to recruit dedicated volunteers for Habitat builds, uniting the community in our shared mission of providing safe and affordable housing.

Our History

Sharing God’s love with our neighbors has always been at the core of Habitat’s mission statement. The Bryan/College Station Habitat affiliate was established in 1989 when a church sought to assist a congregation member in building a house.

In 1997, 14 local churches collaborated for the region’s inaugural ecumenical Habitat, constructing two homes for the Lewis and Harris families. Since then, Faith in Action has helped build 25 homes for Habitat families.
