What is Baptist Builders?

Mission Statement: Baptist Builders exists to assist local congregations with their construction needs. This may include some or all of the planning, construction, and occupancy phases.

Volunteers are also helping individuals and families impacted by a variety of disasters recover from their loss and discover God’s love in the process. Families are experiencing God’s love and finding eternal peace in Jesus Christ during turbulent times. 

Adult volunteer groups and individuals are annually matched with hundreds of requests for church construction assistance. Churches are receiving the necessary assistance that enables them to focus on growing the kingdom of God.

Skilled and unskilled volunteers are needed in such areas as painting, carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, roofing, brick and block laying, landscaping, handyman services, and so on.  Helpers, assistants, and other support workers are also needed as essential parts of the team.
