The purpose of the Faith Relations Committee is to connect local congregations to the work of San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity (SGVHFH) by inviting them to active service.  This is done through the commitment of both leaders and laypeople of all creeds and traditions to join in fellowship to advance the cause and outreach of Habitat.  The Faith Relations Committee meets on a quarterly basis to discuss the ways in which each house of worship can encourage its members to be involved in intentional ministry.
