Haiti Earthquake Relief

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti and all those affected by the Haiti earthquake.  The 7.0-magnitude earthquake primarily impacted the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince and is estimated by the International Red Cross to have affected more than 3 million people.  Much of the capital was reduced to rubble, the power is out, and many medical facilities are severely damaged.


Church World Service is among the agencies responding to the earthquake.  For the most recent update from Church World Service, click here.  To donate to Church World Service's effort, click here.  For links to denominational relief efforts, click here.
