Green Door Construction
A house is the life-long dream of every poor man. Our house construction ministry was created to fulfill that dream.
We credit Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity, for the vision behind this work. Our Green Door Housing builds low-cost cement block homes with wood trusses and tin roofs—sturdy enough to last a lifetime.
Recipients of a Green Door home are chosen by a local committee. This committee also handles the legal paperwork and loan payback. Recipients are asked to help as they are able with it’s construction and to attend home stewardship classes.
Why the name “Green Door?” The color green recalls the gift of life that God created in Genesis 1. Painting the front door green when the house is finished, signifies an act of closure and is a witness to Christ in the neighborhood.
