Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Habitat Seattle-King County is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, renovating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions.  Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. www.habitatskc.org

Our sister church and its cultural center provide 20+ programs for children, youth and parents.  This relationship started in 1994 with the church in the village of Koltushi near St. Petersburg where the Pavlov Institute is located so they have a mix of scientists, local residents who commute to St. Petersburg to work and recent immigrants working in new factories.  In 1998 Dr. Sergei Medvedev, a lay member, started an after-school program – the Cultural Center so children would have some Christian guidance in their lives.  They currently offer pre-school, art, computer, English for children and adults, drama, woodworking, etc. and bike trips on the weekends and camping during the summer!  It is an unusual, amazing program serving infants, children, teens, young adults, adults and seniors. Dr. Sergei was honored by the Metropolitan several years ago and asked to be the director of Sunday School teachers in the region. Now the new priest, Fr. Artemi is fulfilling that position.

We are actively seeking to integrate member care, community development and ethnic reconciliation for mutual support and greater effectiveness.

We are committed to developing and providing resources on behalf of personnel in frontier/community development settings. We focus on those living and working with the least evangelized, highly traumatized, least developed, and/or complex humanitarian emergencies. As part of the discipleship process, we are committed to developing competencies and character in people to enable them to respond to suffering and poverty and to lift human dignity in their communities.

We are a community of colleagues where the presence and peace of Jesus is practiced and experienced. We endeavor to be a visible and viable ministry that can offer a broad range of resources to the mission community.
