Mission: It is the goal of SBCV Disaster Relief to assist churches in preparing for disaster by developing a strategy to minister to their communities during crisis through readying their facilities, training their members, securing supplies, and developing protocols that will activate their disaster response plans. Our ultimate goal is to be able to share the love of Christ through sharing the Gospel.

=================================
Ministry Regions
A Decentralized Approach
At the SBC of Virginia, we believe strongly that having a local missionary in the area, working hand-in-hand with God's people, will have a far more meaningful impact on the spread of the Gospel than we could hope to provide from a central location. Because of this, we've divided our state into five ministry regions, each having dedicated church planting strategists and church health strategists to assist local churches with their individual needs.

Our five ministry regions are as follows:

North
Serving the region
in and around the Shennandoah Valley, Northern Virginia, and Greater DC

Central-East
Serving the region
in and around Greater Richmond, the Piedmont, and the Northern Neck

Central-West
Serving the region
in and around the Roanoke Valley, Greater Lynchburg, and the Southside

Southeast
Serving the region
in and around Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore

Southwest
Serving the region
in and around Appalachia, the Highlands, and the New River Valley
The Southwest Region includes the following counties:

Bland, Buchanan, Bristol, Carroll, Dickenson, Floyd,
Galax, Giles, Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Norton, Patrick, Pulaski,
Radford, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise, Wythe
