Disaster Relief Ministry Overview:


Training/orientation sessions are held several times a year across the state.  Click on EVENTS on the left side of this page to see dates and locations of upcoming training/orientation sessions.  Christian individuals who are active members of a local Southern Baptist Church, in good physical condition, and at least 18 years of age, may attend one of the sessions and join the Disaster Relief team. 

When a request for assistance comes to the BGCO Disaster Relief office, individual team members will be contacted to check on their availability for service during the specific response.  Length of service could be one day to a week or more.

Volunteers assist wherever needed, in the US and beyond, in the following areas of service:
    Preparing and serving hot meals
    Chaplaincy
    Damage assessment
    Chain-saw recovery
    Mud-out debris removal
    Child care
