ARISE AND BUILD
More than 1,500 families in East TN were devastated by the floods generated by Hurricane Helene in late September.
Over 500 families had their homes completely destroyed. Tennessee Baptists have committed to building at least 40 new homes and repairing as many others as possible.
At the January Quarterly Conference, our church unanimously affirmed to call our congregation to raise $25,000.
Your gift to ARISE AND BUILD will enable our church to adopt a family to rebuild their home and give them hope.
The flood, which tore through a large geographic area on Sept. 27, 2024, destroyed homes, churches, and businesses, leaving countless people displaced.
Tennessee Baptist Churches are responding with incredible generosity, sharing the hope of Jesus in the midst of this crisis.
