  • Together, the members of the churches of the Great Rivers Region express their love for our Savior by reaching out to neighbors in their communities, state, nation, and throughout the world.

    The ABC GRR - formed and employed by the churches - helps these members identify needs and send themselves and their financial gifts to those in need.

Friends, I know yesterday was destructive for many in the Midwest, and if you were affected you have many other things on your mind, but please...

If church property was impacted by the storms, please let us know. (217-726-7366)

If your church is involved in recovery efforts in your community that may be helped with One Great Hour of Sharing funds, please let us know.  This could include emergency food/housing assistance for victims and food/housing for recovery teams working in your area.  When in doubt ASK.

We pray that everyone is safe.
