When disaster strikes, SCBaptists step up to serve. This year, South Carolina Baptist Disaster Relief (SCDR) was honored with the Disaster Response Volunteer Group of the Year from the 2025 South Carolina Governor’s Volunteer Awards. This award was established in response to the devastation of Hurricane Helene, recognizing the heroic volunteers who responded after the disaster. Read the full story here:

Last week, we were honored to serve the Spartanburg community, with volunteers from North Georgia University's Baptist Collegiate Ministry. As Spartanburg continues its recovery efforts, our SC DR teams conducted a one-week blitz to provide critical support to those in need.

Thank to the many volunteers that continue to serve their neighbors.

“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Disaster relief efforts are in full swing! There is so much need within the greater Columbia area as well as with in our state. Here are some ways you can get involved and help:

Pray! Pray for the safety of our volunteers and for the families that have been displaced from their homes.

Volunteer! We need more man power! Not trained, we will train you onsite!

Give! We know times are tough right not but if you are about to financially support us, any amount will help and is appreciated.
