THE LUTHERAN COALITION FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

MISSION STATEMENT

The Lutheran Coalition for Habitat for Humanity is a group of concerned Lutherans in the Atlanta, Georgia Metropolitan area who have agreed to partner with Local Habitat for Humanity Affiliates to eliminate sub standard housing. The prime direction for this group comes from the Scripture, the Coalition specifically cites and adopts Saint James' Chapter 2 direction: "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you have faith but do not have works? ... and I, by my works, will show you my faith". This most basic Christian principle has been embraced by the coalition and put into action through the Habitat for Humanity Partnership.

The Coalition intends to annually join Habitat for Humanity and a deserving Partner Family in the construction of a decent affordable home for the Partner Family. The Coalition will endeavor to provide the funding and volunteer construction labor to this partnership. 

The Coalition commits to reach out to all congregations in the Atlanta area and actively solicit their participation as a Coalition Member, and to share the opportunity of this experience.

It is specifically intended that the Coalition should grow, split, merge and expand to other localities and dynamically search for opportunities to expand both the membership and works projects to be undertaken.
