Disaster Preparedness
Providence Presbytery wants members within its congregations and their communities to be confidently prepared in case of weather emergencies or other disasters --
and equipped to handle the aftermath.
This page contains resources to help guide that disaster preparedness and response.
If your church experiences, any disaster related issues, please contact the Presbytery office to let us know:
803-328-6269 or 1-800-922-1609.
If you are the point person for your congregation in case of a disaster, we ask you fill out this form so the Presbytery can have the most up-to-date contact information in case we need to reach out.
