Home Restoration Ministry

Neglected houses can become cherished homes.

Pastor Grady Jensen and Open Arms volunteers renovate houses with careful hands and a practical purpose: restore what can be saved and help create a path toward a stable home.

  1. 01

    Restore the house. Volunteers and skilled trades repair, clean, and renew neglected properties.

  2. 02

    Open a path home. The ministry has helped working families who faced barriers to a traditional mortgage.

  3. 03

    Keep the work moving. Proceeds help fund future restorations, supplies, and mission work.
