Brethren Disaster Ministries (BDM), including Children’s Disaster Services, the Rebuilding Program and Global Response, is undergoing a program review that includes a survey, stakeholder group meetings, interviews with program volunteers, and discussions with church leaders. Input is needed from anyone who engages with Brethren Disaster Ministries or the Church of the Brethren on any level.
The goals of the review include program improvements, increasing the number of program volunteers, improving the volunteer experience, exploring other initiatives that could enhance the BDM ministries, and bolstering the connection between volunteering and faith. The information gathered will also assist BDM in writing a domestic program development grant proposal for the Lilly Foundation.
Survey: Will you please help us by participating in the survey and providing your perspective and suggestions? As much feedback as possible is important for this information gathering and strategic look forward. The survey must be completed by November 15, 2025. If you miss the survey deadline, you may still email your thoughts to bdm@brethren.org.
