Disaster Response Ministry

When disaster strikes, United Methodists respond with prayers, with money, with time, with labor, and with love. Aldersgate has a disaster response team to respond to local disasters (such as tornadoes, fire, floods, etc.)  in Wichita and Sedgwick County.

Watch the Kansas West Conference website for opportunities to take Basic Disaster Response and Early Response Team training. The Basic Response training must be taken before the Early Response Team training.

 

If you are interested in this ministry, please complete the Disaster Response Ability survey provided in the links below. Forms are also available at the Welcome booth. As you will note, there are a variety of skills needed after a disaster, so all are needed! Please see Pastor Kim or anyone on the Disaster Response Committee for more information. They receive information from the Annual Conference Coordinators and know of the latest help needed.
