We all want our neighbors to thrive, to feel secure, to have a haven where their families can grow. But sometimes, the overwhelming challenges of affordable housing can make those dreams feel out of reach, leaving many of us wondering, “What can I possibly do?”
The truth is, right here in our backyard, far too many families wrestle with the daily stress of inadequate housing – a tiny apartment, an unsafe neighborhood, or the constant worry of rent increases. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a real problem impacting real people, hindering children’s education, limiting job opportunities, and straining the very foundation of our shared future in Horry County. It can feel like an invisible barrier, standing between us and the vibrant community we all long for.
At Habitat for Humanity of Horry County, we’ve been partnering with families for 35 years to build that stability. We do this by bringing people together, especially through something incredibly special called a Faith Build.
What is a Faith Build? It’s our unique way of uniting local churches, faith groups, and caring individuals to contribute their time, talent, and resources. They step forward to build a home from the ground up, putting compassion into tangible action right here in our community. It’s truly a testament to what we can achieve when we unite under a shared purpose.
This year, we are immensely grateful to the following Horry County churches who have already said “YES!” to putting God’s love into action and partnering with us on this special build:
- First Presbyterian Church of Myrtle Beach
- First United Methodist Church of Myrtle Beach
- Wellspring Church
- Seacoast Church
- Kingston Presbyterian Church
- Carolina Forest Community Church
- Sandy Grove Baptist Church
- Body of Christ Church
- Beach Church
- Ocean View Baptist Church
- Thrive Church
- First Baptist Conway GracePoint Church
Their commitment, alongside the generous sponsorship of the 2025 Faith Build and the Horry County HOME Consortium, is what makes this life-changing project possible.
We’re kicking off the 2025 Faith Build with a groundbreaking on our 187th home! You’re invited to be part of this inspiring beginning.
