BUILDING RUTHERFORD
Building Homes...Building Teamwork...Building Community...Building the Future
Habitat for Humanity

A four-year, $3,875,000 Initiative of Business, Church, & Community Groups Partnering with Working Families to Build Affordable Homes and Rebuild Neighborhoods in Rutherford County

Through this 2011-2014 initiative, Rutherford County Habitat will expand homeownership opportunities by acquiring residential lots in older sections of Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and La Vergne, and developable tracts suitable for small Habitat neighborhoods of 5 - 12 homes throughout the county.

Since 1989, Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity has built 94 homes.  The Building Rutherford initiative will construct 45 new homes.

Although First Baptist is not financially able to include Habitat for Humanity in the budget this year, the account established in 2006 for the first of two Operation InAsMuch "House of Faith" homes (the 2nd built in 2008) currently has $11,000.  This amount came from donations by individuals from all six Operation InAsMuch congregations--Antioch Primitive Baptist, Central Christian, First Baptist, First Presbyterian, St. Paul's Episcopal, and St. Rose Catholic churches. 

Please continue to support Habitat for Humanity with your donations.  What we do here changes lives, families and communities.
