Join NC Conference Disaster Ministries for our annual spring Disaster Training Academy on May 1-2 in Goldsboro to strengthen your ERT skills, learn together, and continue preparing to serve communities when disaster strikes.

On Saturday, May 2, we will also offer Connecting Neighbors training, which equips local churches to prepare for disasters and serve their communities. Churches are welcome to participate in this portion of the training, even if they are not ERT-certified.
