Hurricane Relief

Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton have caused widespread wind and flood damage across the Southeast. The two storms have impacted Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee. Some regions of the Southern Appalachian Mountains received as much as 29 inches of rain due to Helene with massive mudslides destroying everything in their path and claiming many lives. Flooding and tornado damage due to Hurricane Milton and Helene have resulted in millions of dollars of damage to the entire region of the Southeast United States.

As we receive contributions, we will network with independent Baptist churches in the storm hit areas who are providing basic items to storm victims. We will also assist pastors who have been forced out of their homes due to storm damage. As the cleanup and rebuilding process takes place, donated contributions will be used to repair and rebuild independent Baptist church buildings and ministry facilities. Though most churches have insurance coverage, many times there are large deductibles that must be met for facilities to be fully restored. Deductible amounts can run into thousands of dollars. Flood damage is not usually covered under a church insurance policy.

We also use donated funds to assist storm-hit independent Baptist churches as they rebuild their congregations through various outreach efforts after their facilities are repaired. You may contribute online or your contribution may be sent to the following:
