Update
If you want to help the Church reach out to Tuscaloosa, you have come to the right place.
To brothers and sisters across the state and country, understand that while our building was destroyed, the Church was edified. But, as much as we have been strengthened, we cannot overcome the challenges ahead alone.
The property that held our earthly meeting place has now become an epicenter for outreach in a devastated area. We have no electricity, no shelter, no bathrooms, but with the help of the resources of the Church of Christ Disaster Relief Team from Tennessee, we are feeding thousands of residents in the surrounding neighborhoods each day. These residents have lost everything.
We understand if you feel a need to jump in your vehicle and help out now. This is a very loving reaction. Fortunately we have many people who love their fellow people in this country right after a tragedy like this. Unfortunately, this is going to be a long process. You are needed, but the greatest need is not now. It is in the weeks and months ahead. We want the Church to be able to meet this need when the rest of the state and country have forgotten or moved on. That is why we ask you to use this site to contact us.
We want the Church to make the difference in Tuscaloosa no one else could. We want the people in Tuscaloosa to see that the Church of Christ will never give up on them just as God will never give up on us.
Take the time to look at the "Traveling Volunteer(s) Sign-up" Form on the lefthand side of the webpage. If you think you can help, please fill this out so that we will be able to more effectively coordinate our efforts.
We thank you for your loving heart from the bottom of ours.
