Connecting Neighbors - Local Church Disaster Plan 

What does your congregation do when a disaster happens in your community? As we strive to make disciples for Jesus Christ, we need to know how we will respond and take care of our family, our church and our community.  Join us for an afternoon of learning and sharing information.  Why have a church disaster plan? Because no one is immune to natural or human-caused disaster.  Unfortunately, some church leaders do not recognize potential tragedy in their community.  These are the ones who dismiss concerns by saying "we've never had a disaster here."  They would rather devote energy to more immediate business than plan for what seems impossible.  "If something happens, we'll deal with it then."

 Cost:  $15.00 per person - Check or credit cards are accepted; PayPal will process your credit card payment however you do not need a PayPal account to pay with a credit card.

Optional manual may be purchased for $25 (minimum one per church), which will be referred to in class.
