Faith Family Members

We are eternally thankful for our Habitat Faith Family members. We could not spread God’s love like we have been able to do all these years without you. Below is a list of our current Habitat Faith Family members.

Our Faith Roots

Faith has been the foundation of Habitat for Humanity since its humble beginnings in 1976. Founded by a preacher and his wife, Millard and Linda Fuller, and born within a Christian fellowship community called "Koinonia," Habitat began as one of Koinonia's outreach programs, building a few homes for underserved families. Koinonia Farm still stands today, as a thriving ministry built around Habitat's rich history of community service and a thriving pecan farm. Locally, ours is the oldest Ohio Habitat affiliate, founded in the basement of a Montgomery County church in 1983.
