    Disaster Ready ChurchDisaster Ready Church

    Is your church ready if disaster strikes today? Southern Baptist Disaster Relief can help you prepare your church and church members to survive a disaster and to be prepared to minister in your community immediately after a disaster.  Ask any pastor who has lead a church in the days immediately following a disaster and he will tell you of a multitude of things he wished he had known and done before the disaster hit his community. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Ready Church is an effort to help you be prepared and positioned for ministry when a disaster hits your community, and to prepare you to assist another church to minister when disaster strikes their community.

    Find out more about becoming a Disaster Ready Church.
