Need: Our church is in need of an immediate repair. The soffit under the roof eave has come loose letting water run behind the aluminum soffit. This has caused damage to the ends of the roof joists. It may be fixed by “scabbing” on roof joist pieces to the existing joists and correctly attaching the soffit so rainwater runs into the gutter. We need help to repair the damaged roof before it causes more damage to the building. We no longer have the manpower to attempt a repair by ourselves.
Red Bird Baptist Church is the 3rd oldest church in the SUMZB Association. It was established in 1810. This church was instrumental in helping to establish many churches and programs in this area in the past. Our church is now small in number, but we are still active in missions. Our ladies have a sewing ministry that sends blankets and prayer cloths to area missions such as rehab facilities, unwed mother’s shelters, and the local homeless shelter. Red Bird Baptist also participates in foreign missions by supplying blankets to a Ugandan Orphanage for several years.
