Where To Start?
Local churches are often the first place people go when a disaster hits. Disaster ministry is essential to churches that want to effectively care for people in these times of crisis. Here are some ways to begin.
- Attend the annual Disaster Ministry Conference and attend sessions in the Disaster Ministry track. A past topic: “Engaging Your Congregation and the Faith Community in Building a Disaster Response Team in Preparation for Local and National Response.” (Download the Presentation)
- Make use of our available resources for disaster ministry as well as for disaster spiritual and emotional care, including a public health planning guide, articles that address ministry topics, and more.
- Follow HDI on Twitter to receive our weekly newsletter, with insights on disaster ministry via email.
- Check out HDI’s Disaster Ministry Handbook (Jan 2016). More >
