Our mission is to advance the Lord’s Kingdom by assisting Bible-believing, teaching and practicing churches, encampments, seminaries and other institutions, especially in pioneer areas, by providing volunteer labor to construct buildings for worship and other Kingdom-building activities.

Volunteer Christian Builders invest more than their vacations and time in service to churches across the nation.  This began in 1963 when a small church in Colorado asked a group of friends to come and help build a church building.  It was much like the old-fashioned barn raising in pioneer days.  Many church and retiree groups continue to go and assist numerous churches each year.  That original group of half a dozen families has now grown to 800 families. 

Volunteers of all ages and walks of life pitch in and do any type of manual labor they are asked to do.  One common goal binds all volunteers together--a desire to help small financially challenged Southern Baptist congregations build a building they could not afford without volunteer labor. 

This predominately Southern Baptist group is chartered as a non-profit organization in Texas and Louisiana.  It is organized under a Board of Directors with officers located throughout the United States.  All operating funds come from donations by individuals and churches. 

Individuals bring their personal tools and pay their own expenses to each project.  Many families stay in personal RVs usually on the church site.  Others are invited into the homes of local congregations.  Not only do the volunteers feel rewarded by knowing they have been of service, they have also made many lasting friendships.  

Volunteer Christian Builders offers the opportunity to grow in Christ through fellowship and obedience to God's call to missions.  Volunteers travel short or long distances, working from one week to several months of the year.
