Preparing, Responding and Helping Our Community Recover

How We Are Rebuilding

It’s been awhile since Hurricane Florence devastated our communities in September of 2018. While a lot of our neighbors have been able to return to life as normal, there are many who are still trying to navigate rebuilding their home. We as One Harbor Church are dedicated in supporting our community recover. Our partnership with ReachGlobal Crisis Response has allowed us to assist hundreds of people in our area rebuild their homes, while sharing with them the love of Christ.

Meet the Missionaries

Several of the missionaries from ReachGlobal Crisis Response have moved into our community to live and serve full time.
