Changing lives by working shoulder-to-shoulder with someone to build their home comes from the heart. Leading a group of your fellow congregation members comes from your heart, too, but with a sense of wanting to do more – giving more of your time and effort to help a family in need.

You can help coordinate your congregation’s efforts to participate in Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity by becoming a Thrivent Builds congregational Champion.
