Disaster Reponse

hopeful Disaster Response team

When someone is hurting, move toward, move toward, move toward." 

-- Ed Welch, Christian Counseling and Education Foundation

Our disaster response team helps clean up and rebuild communities that have been damaged by tornadoes, hurricanes, or other disasters. We also regularly monitor local amateur radio repeaters.

Our team partners with NALC Disaster Response, Rivers Edge Ministries, and our local emergency management organization. For more info see one of our pastors.
