This interfaith coalition, consisting of Christian, Jewish and Muslim
congregations, works together once a year on a Habitat jobsite combining
hard work with spiritual dialog, good food, and friendships formed while
building together. Representatives from
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community,

Bellevue Christian,
Bothell United
Methodist,
Eastgate Congregational,
I.M.A.N,
MAPS,
Newport
Presbyterian, Our Lady
of Sorrows Catholic,

Catholic,
St. Thomas Episcopal, and

Torah have built together annually on the Habitat for Humanity EKC
jobsite. They will celebrate 10 years of working together in September
2011. They raise money throughout the year to contribute to Habitat and
then spend a couple of weekends in the fall building together and
concluding with an interfaith worship service.
If you or your congregation is interested in joining one of these
groups or creating your own coalition, please contact Mary Martin at
