For over 20 years, it has been our objective to serve others in the name of Jesus Christ by meeting the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and communities suffering in times of disaster. Colorado Baptist Disaster Relief (CBDR) is a National Disaster Organization with the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) which is based locally in Colorado. Our combined 42 state organizations have over 65,000 volunteers.

These volunteers have been trained in disaster relief responding to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes and many other types of disasters both domestically and abroad. All of our CBDR/SBDR volunteers are trained, credentialed, and background checked. These volunteers are prepared to deploy in bringing Help, Hope and Healing to those that been affected by disasters.

This October, Colorado Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (COVOAD) has a special COVOAD Member Spotlight of the Colorado Baptist Disaster Response (CBDR) Program led by Dennis Belz. This spotlight highlights the incredible CBDR team, an exemplary mitigation and volunteer training project they completed this summer, and the passion and dedication they bring everyday to serve and support our communities across Colorado through every phase of disaster.
