One of the biggest ways we all can be involved with the recovery from disaster, is to pray daily for our families, our community, and our church.

Disaster Response is the initiative of Clear Creek Community Church in response to the recent catastrophic storms and flooding. We believe especially in times like these, the church must rise up and go bold! In the midst of the heartbreak and devastation, we can show God’s love and generosity to the people around us. We can bring Hope into Crisis.

THREE PHASES OF RESPONSE:

Rescue

Rescue means simply that: we help rescue those neighbors and friends in crisis.

Relief

Relief means shelters are opened and supplies are collected and distributed.

Recovery

Recovery means we clean up houses and we rebuild, getting our worlds back in order.

OUR DISASTER RESPONSE PLAN

We are currently in the urgent Rescue and Relief phases of our response. We do whatever it takes to engage our community’s needs by supporting and loving our neighbors. We show up and serve in homes, we support shelters established by area churches and civil agencies, and we donate supplies to resource those in need.
