Disaster Response Programs Renamed

New names have been chosen for three disaster response programs of the Church of the Brethren General Board: Emergency Response, Disaster Child Care, and Service Ministries. The new names more adequately reflect the identity and mission of the church’s disaster response work.
  • “Brethren Disaster Ministries” is the new name for the Emergency Response program that encompasses the Brethren Disaster Response rebuilding ministry.

  • Disaster Child Care is being renamed “Children’s Disaster Services.”

  • Service Ministries is returning to a former name, “Material Resources.”
