Carpenters for Christ Needs You!

Carpenters for Christ was established in 1983 by the men of the Stevensville Methodist Church.  Over the years it has expanded to include Christian men and women from throughout the Bitterroot valley.  The mission of Carpenters for Christ is to help Senior Citizens, single-parent families, low-income families and the handicapped.

Our services are extremely diverse. They include such things as construction of wheel chair ramps, chair and bed platforms, installation of grab bars, wall brackets and general repairs.

Membership is strictly voluntary, with no age limit, and no dues are charged. Members do not have to be carpenters, just willing to help.

Since the economic collapse several years ago, Carpenters lost all funding, and operates on a donation basis. We currently ask the people to pay for materials with labor being free. We do not however turn anyone down if at all possible. Since the collapse, we have refused no one and the LORD continues to supply adequate funding.

Carpenters for Christ completed 22 projects in 2015, and nine so far in 2016.

Carpenters for Christ currently has 7 members, with 5 active. Age and health has dwindled our roster and threatens to disrupt our mission. We are in desperate need of volunteers. This organization needs some younger help especially. We need people who can donate a half-day here and there for projects.

Current Officers for Carpenters for Christ are:

Patrick Erskine president, (406) 369-2636

Franz Erskine Vice President/Treasure,(406) 240-3055

Gene Blake, interim Secretary  

We say again, we need volunteers. Contact officers for further info or to volunteer.  No special skills are required, but are appreciated.
