Volunteers in Mission (VIM) |

|
The understanding that "we are called" and "we are sent" is at the foundation of our faith.
Putting our faith into action is at the very heart of our Christian calling and not just something that we do in our spare time. Through Volunteers In Mission, every person in the church has the oppurtunity to serve and to live their calling and their lives more faithfully. When we reach out in this way, using what God has given us in the service of others, we have "life-transforming" experiences.
Habitat for Humanity was created to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, so it is natural that the church--Christ's body in the world--should be a primary partner in Habitat's work.
Churches are essential in grounding the work of Habitat in the gospel message and undergirding the ministry of Habitat in prayer. The most successful Habitat for Humanity affiliates are the ones with the strongest church support, and churches have proven to be Habitat's most reliable and long-term partners.
