Our Foundation
A City on a Hill
The people and faith behind our annual Christmas dinner.
We come together with Jesus at the center, welcoming our invited guests for a meal, fellowship and Christmas celebration.
Vision
To nurture a community anchored in faith, where every person finds hope, and our service reflects the love of our Creator.
Mission
Christmas brings us together for something special. We step away from networking and talk of the next job to celebrate Jesus, bless one another, and give back. It’s a time for our construction community to share in the Good News and the joy of Christmas.
Faith at the center. Christmas every day. All are welcome.
The Pillars of BuildLA
Our core values
Five pillars that hold up everything we build together.
Faith-Led Excellence
We acknowledge that our talents are gifts from the Master Builder. While we are led by our relationship with Christ, we welcome all who strive for a higher standard of craftsmanship and character.
Unwavering Integrity
We build trust through absolute honesty. Our word is our bond, and our work is our witness to the values we hold dear.
Purposeful Service
We don't just build structures; we build people. We are committed to serving “the least of these” and investing in the next generation with a heart of grace.
Radical Hospitality
Inspired by the open table of the Christmas season, we open our table to everyone, because everyone has a place.
The Christmas Mindset
We carry the joy, generosity, and unity of the Christmas season 365 days a year, keeping Jesus Christ at the center of all we do.
