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.
