The First Presbyterian Church has been a consistent volunteer group for Amarillo Habitat for Humanity, helping to build two of their last four homes in the past year. The church's Director of Urban Missions says they volunteer because they are a missional church that believes in making an impact in the community through sharing God's love in work and deeds. The church has a long history with Habitat beyond just volunteering, as Habitat used to house its headquarters at the church before moving to its own building.
