Builders for Christ

The Builders for Christ Mission Team is a team consisting of Elders and teams from churches all over the East Coast.  The mission of Builders for Christ is to assist churches in building new buildings or additions.  Builders seeks to help churches construct buildings for reaching the surrounding communities as well as keeping costs down for the recipient church.  The team is full of volunteers of various construction skills from master builder to those who have never lifted a tool.  It is a great experience for the whole family.

Builders for Christ is usually involved in the following:  drywall, framing, setting the steeple, siding installation, insulating, and building the stage among other things.  There are also teams for meal provision, praying, VBS for little children, and the snack team (Frozen grapes are a favorite).
