FBC Relief Team

The Relief Team Ministry seeks to bless the community by meeting 
practical needs with the anticipation that Jesus will use the Relief Team 
to show the Holy Spirit working in their lives to those they serve.

The Relief Team maintains a mobile unit using hands on, locally deployed relief to families. We believe that God's primary vehicle for impacting the community is the local church.

 The types of jobs the team accomplishes range from putting up drywall, masonry, carpentry, roofing, painting and clean up.
History of the Relief Team

 

During a mission trip in 2008 to the city of New Orleans, where members of FBC helped members of this Gulf Coast community that had been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, a challenge was issued to these Christian workers.  What was that challenge?  To go home and continue the same kind of ministry in their own community:  Gettysburg. 

The challenge was to find members of our community who were in the same kind of situation as the residents of New Orleans and share the light and love of Jesus with them. 

Having experienced the joy of being the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, these workers came back to Gettysburg and shared their experience with the congregation of First Baptist.  Soon, the Lord provided a trailer that is used not only for this ministry but is also used in our Angelfood Ministry.
