Join us as Builders for Christ takes on an exciting new project to support impactful ministries in San Carlos and Peridot, Arizona. We’ll be renovating the historic Grace Lutheran Church building in San Carlos to provide a dedicated home for the Native Strength Network, an outreach program committed to serving and empowering Native communities. In Peridot, we’ll construct a 5-stall garage for Our Savior's to improve storage and accessibility for their vital work. We’ll also enhance campus spaces with expanded cafeteria seating, additional office areas, and other much-needed renovations to support the growing needs of the community. These updates will make a lasting difference—join us in supporting these missions!
Location: San Carlos and Peridot, AZ
Dates: January 14 - March 18th (Tuesday-Saturday work week)
Number of volunteers needed: 30-40 volunteers
Project Manager: Paul Soucy
There is room for approximately 10 campsites on the grounds. There will be at least 2 BFC trailers available for 2 weeks/builder at $100/week rent. The school has building space as well.
A noon meal, snacks, and water will be provided each day. Volunteers are responsible for their own meals in the morning, evening, and on non-working days. Anyone not involved with the day-to-day building process is encouraged to assist the congregation with the meals and break snacks as needed.
Read the Volunteer Procedures and Safety Manual
Each phase of the project requires different skills and numbers of volunteers, so if you’ve never lifted a hammer, you can still volunteer! Our experienced volunteers happily provide on-the-job training to those who need it.
While bringing your own tools and safety equipment is encouraged, it is not a requirement. We understand not everyone can access the necessary tools or safety equipment. If you have your own items, feel free to bring them. This would include safety glasses, a hard hat, appropriate shoes, hammer, tool belt, 1″x25′ tape measure, speed square, utility knife with blades, bird’s foot/cat’s paw, pencil(s), and chalk line. If you’re traveling by plane and find it difficult to pack these items or don’t have them, we have them covered.
Anyone 16 years of age or older may serve on a Builders For Christ project. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have an adult chaperone who will volunteer as their supervisor. Only volunteers age 18 and older are permitted to operate motor vehicles and power tools, climb ladders and scaffolding, work on a roof, or engage in any other hazardous activities.
