How to Host a Disaster Relief Training

We are so excited that you are interesting in hosting a training for your church members! Our Disaster Relief ministry is committed to bringing help, healing, and hope to those affected by natural disaster.

In order for a local church to facilitate a training, please follow these steps:

(Training must be for at least 5 participants with no maximum number requirement).

1. Register your church to host a training by clicking here. Once registration is complete, a link, class code, and instructions for completing orientation will be sent to the church. Additionally, the church will receive a link for each participant to register.
2. Each participant must register and pay for the training through a link provided to the church by SBC of Virginia’s Disaster Relief.
3. All training videos may be watched in one sitting or broken up over multiple sittings (such as one hour per week for three weeks).
4. The pastor will be responsible for ensuring that each person attends all sessions or, he may select a course administrator/facilitator who will administer the class and report upon completion.
5. Once complete, the pastor will send an email to disasterrelief@sbcv.org confirming all participants have completed the training.
6. Each participant will then receive an email with instructions for completing a background screening.
7. Each participant will receive instructions for submitting an appropriate photo for a Disaster Relief ID badge.
8. Once orientation and background screenings are complete, a Disaster Relief ID badge will be sent to each individual.
9. Completion certificates, shirts and hats will be sent to the church for each participant.

NOTE: The pastor does NOT have to attend training but may assign the role of facilitator to anyone of his choosing.
