Peachtree Presbyterian Celebrates 155th Atlanta Habitat Build!

Quietly, intently and faithfully, Peachtree Presbyterian just completed its 155^th house build with Atlanta Habitat.

“The congregation began building with us in 1986 and in some years was building six and seven houses or more,” says Jon Jones, Atlanta Habitat’s sponsorship director. “To put that in perspective, Peachtree Presbyterian has built about 10 percent of Atlanta Habitat’s homes. That’s a more than a $5.5 million investment in helping families.”

“Our relationship with Atlanta Habitat is a longstanding tradition and an important way that our congregation can serve our community, not just through our financial commitment but also through hands-on volunteerism and prayer,” says Ginny Nickles, director of Mission Mobilization and Innovation at Peachtree Presbyterian. Each year, the church donates the entire Christmas Eve service offering toward sponsoring a home and invites all the homeowners they have built with to join the congregation in that celebratory service. “Each of the homeowners we’ve worked with has inspired us,” Ginny says. “We’re so grateful to Atlanta Habitat for everything it does to improve our community.”
