Disaster Relief is a ministry-based approach to impacting
people for the Kingdom of God. Our motto of “Serving Christ
in Crisis” has two implications:
We serve Christ to those persons who are the victims of
disaster. When we minister to persons in need we are serving
Christ (Matthew 25:46).
The goal of Disaster Relief is to provide some measure of
normalcy for the victims of a disaster event.
Disaster Relief focuses on five areas of ministry:
Chaplaincy
Child Care
Clean-Up & Recovery
Communications
Feeding
Everyone who wants to be involved in this ministry must
be "Phase 1" trained. This training is offered three times
each year in various locations of the state.
--------------------------------------------------
