Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief
Southern Baptists have a history of being one of the most organized and effective relief organizations in the country. When floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, or any other disaster strikes, Southern Baptists are always ready to respond. Volunteers are trained and certified through their respective state conventions. All relief efforts must work under the guidelines of FEMA. Therefore, training and certification is required of all participants. Do not wait for a disaster to strike to decide that you want to help, that will be too late. Get certified with the GBC.
|
| |
GBC 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 due by registration deadline: Phase 1 = $40, Recertification = $20, Cross-training in another ministry area = $40.)

Our Samaria

In an effort to spread the Gospel, we seek to build relationships at home and throughout the world. Reaching a city for Christ is more than just sharing our faith on the street, it is seeing people grow and mature in their walk. To accomplish this, there must be healthy, Bible-believing churches supporting new believers. Many areas in America are without churches or have nonproductive churches. God has led us to help plant churches in Baltimore, Maryland and San Francisco, California. These are both areas that are in need of a loving church to minister to their community.
Church Plants:
East Baltimore Baptist Church in Baltimore, MD
