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 victims of disaster.
  • When we minister to persons in need, we are serving Christ (Matthew 25:40)

 

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  
 

 

Phase 1 Training is required for all volunteers.  At this training you will receive an introduction to the Disaster Relief Ministry of Georgia Baptists as well as hands-on training in one of the five ministry areas.  Phase 1 trainings are held each January, February, and March in preparation for the storm season. 

(Training Fees if paid by registration deadline:  Phase 1/Cross-Training=$40,

Recertification = $20)  

 

Introduction to Disaster Relief Training is for those persons who want to learn about Disaster Relief and see if it is a ministry they would like to be part of. 

(Registration is required but there are no training fees.  It's FREE!)


Recertification Training
 is required every 3 years to remain active and can be accomplished at any of the Phase 1 trainings offered in January, February, and March of each year.  If attending for recertification in Childcare, Communications, Clean-up & Recovery, or Feeding, attendance is only required at the morning session.  If attending for recertification in Chaplaincy, attendance is required at both the morning and afternoon sessions. 

(Training fees if paid by registration deadline:  $20.)


Phase 2 Training
is designed for volunteers who sense the Lord leading them to become involved in this ministry at a leadership level. 

(Training Fees = $35.  Additional charges may occur.  See registration form for details.)
