Disaster Ministries is assessing storm damages and needs following Tropical Storm Debby. We continue to pray for all who have been impacted by the storm.
If your church or parsonage sustained damage from the storm, please contact your District Superintendent (DS) and District Disaster Response Coordinator (DDRC). If your community was impacted, please contact your DS, DDRC, and the Disaster Call Center. View and download an overview of what to do when disaster strikes.
We will continue to share more information as it becomes available. Here are a few ways you can help serve following the storm:
