Supporting Hurricane Recovery and Community Outreach

This Christmas, we have the opportunity to make an impact in the lives of a church family and their community in St. Petersburg, Florida, as they recover from recent hurricanes. Central Christian Church, has been a beacon of hope, serving their community despite their own significant challenges.

​

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, their church family experienced widespread damage:

​

• 50 families in the church faced flooding in their homes.

• 12 families in the church dealt with severe wind damage, including trees falling on their roofs.

• The church building itself sustained flooding, despite precautions like flood-resistant construction.
   

While receiving gratitude from their community in the form of financial gifts, Central Christian Church has reinvested those funds into local outreach, meeting urgent needs around them. This has left critical repairs—such as nursery renovations, carpet replacement, and additional flooring repairs unaddressed.

Our goal is to support their efforts in these ways:

​

1. Half of the funds will help repair and restore their church building, enabling them to continue being a strong foundation for their community.
    

2. The other half will be used to fuel their ongoing outreach efforts, extending hope and tangible aid to families in need.
    

Please prayerfully consider how you can contribute to this special Christmas offering. Together, we can make a difference for this church and the community they serve so faithfully.
