Our mission

Servant’s Heart Ministry is a non profit construction organization that seeks to model Christ’s example of serving others to improve the quality of life in under-resourced communities through renovation projects and trades training and mentorship. We do this through volunteers.

VOLUNTEERS DO IT ALL

We could not do what we do without the willing and faithful people who come out time and time again to serve those in need. Servant’s Heart makes an impact on individuals and communities because of the hard work and generosity of many servants.

    “I have been working in the trades ever since getting out of high school. I admire all that Servant’s Heart is doing. They are doing a wonderful job in teaching the next generation. The ‘kids’ are a lot of fun and very eager to learn. As a volunteer it’s a great time of fellowship and a chance to spread God’s mission in our own back yard.”

    “You can watch something build from the ground up. That’s what Servant’s Heart has been about since I started volunteering years ago in Mexico. Being here has made me a better carpenter. And the better I get, the more I can teach others.”

    “I see the hand of God in so many aspects in what we are doing. I also like having an outlet where I can still be active. It’s different than what I do for work and a great community to be part of.”

  • A man with glasses, a gray beard, and a black beanie smoothing drywall with his hand inside a room under renovation.

    “I love what Servant’s Heart is doing for the community! They are providing training and helping to find job placement in the trades industry. The men and women coming through the programs will be able to provide for their own families with dignity and pride.”
