Habitat for Humanity, the local Presbyterian Churches, the Presbytery and local supporting companies have joined to build our first Presbyterian home.  The site is located at 33rd Street north and Arkansas in north Wichita.  As of September 15th, two homes have been completed, three are under construction with the complete project consisting of 42 Habitat homes and a park.
At the present time 31 of the 42 homes have sponsorship.  The project is planned to be completed by 2009.
