Hurricane Helene made landfall on September 26, 2024, in Florida’s Big Bend region before moving north, leaving behind a massive trail of destruction. Communities in states as far north as West Virginia and Ohio were impacted by Helene and its high winds, record-breaking storm surges, tornadoes, torrential rains, landslides, and catastrophic floods. More than 180 people died across six states, and millions were left without power, water, and phone or internet service. Hundreds of roads were destroyed in western North Carolina, greatly hampering relief efforts in that region.
Nazarene church members, pastors, and disaster volunteers are serving in impacted communities. Adrian Camp and Conference Center, part of the Georgia District, was severely impacted. In Nashville, Georgia, the Church of the Nazarene sanctuary sustained heavy damage and may be unrepairable. Nazarene Disaster Response teams are mobilizing to travel to impacted areas to provide cleanup and recovery assistance, and many local churches are providing food, water, and Crisis Care Kits to their affected neighbors.
