Disaster Relief

When disaster hits, Christ Church faithfully responds in a variety of ways:

• Assembling health kits, hygiene kits, school kits, and cleaning bucket supplies, which are forwarded to the United Methodist Committee on Relief for national disaster relief. These kits are also used for local emergency response programs.
• Getting trained to be part of an Early Response Team (ERT) and serving as a Christian presence to those in need, helping with tasks such as tarping roofs, removing debris, and mucking out houses.
• Providing meals, prayer, hospitality, and communication to our neighbors who may be without electricity.
• Assisting with water and ice distribution if a FEMA Point of Distribution (POD) is assigned to our area.
• Partnering with other agencies as resources become available.
