Disaster Relief

TBMB Disaster Relief Partnership

As a church, we are honored to support the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board (TBMB) in their vital disaster relief efforts. When crisis strikes, TBMB responds with boots‑on‑the‑ground assistance — feeding units, chainsaw teams, shower and laundry trailers, chaplains, and more.

Through our partnership with TBMB, we join in bringing practical help and the hope of Christ to communities in need.

We believe that every act of service is an opportunity for our church family to share God’s love in a tangible and meaningful way.
