After a thorough assessment, we want to report that we had no loss of life of church members, but they have lost loved ones, friends and associates, so please keep them in prayer. Only one of our churches in Kentucky sustained serious damage. The Dawson Springs church was most heavily impacted but it can certainly be restored. This building is a storefront building in the middle of the small downtown area of Dawson Springs. It is at the hub of where the relief areas are located. The church has been converted into a 24 hour mercy center, feeding, housing, and meeting the needs of tornado victims. They are cooking thousands of hot meals, providing building materials, clothing, and supplies of all kinds to families in the area, free of charge. 

Central City and Bremen were also impacted. Our churches in Central City and Knobbs are assisting in the relief efforts in their communities.

They are selflessly serving others and we can align with them to meet the needs of their community.

There are relief efforts in Dawson Springs, Central City and Bremen, and we have boots on the ground in each area.
