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.
