A Message From Our Pastor
If you have landed on this website and in particular this page, I would like to share my thoughts with you. It took over a year with many sleepless nights, praying and reflecting upon the content of this page, before I could authorize the use of the video and the thoughts expressed by the Church members.
The sole intent of this page is to share the glory of GOD through the works of those who have faith, to believers and non-believers alike. It is intended as a Rally Call for those who have faith, to put works with it, for the Glory of GOD!
Reverend Steve Smith, Senior Pastor SGBC
Cape Fear Region Disaster Relief & Rebuild
Pastor Steve voluntarily lead and still serves in the Wilmington, NC area DISASTER RELIEF & REBUILD efforts, along with several other Pastors, lay persons, and with teams of volunteers, through our local Baptist Association the Cape Fear Network of Baptist Churches.
Whether it is from immediate storm relief directly after a Hurricane, or any other Natural Disasters in the Cape Fear Region, to rebuilding storm ravaged homes with teams of volunteers and other Churches, you will find true faith and works, and the love of CHRIST being shared with others.
Pastor Steve voluntarily served for the Baptists on MISSION as the site coordinator for the Wilmington and surrounding area for 18 months after Hurricane Florence. Teaching volunteers to take apart storm ravaged homes, and teaching them how to rebuild those homes was one of the greatest highlights of that accomplishment. The other achievement that was a highlight during this time was seeing the relief upon the faces of those homeowners who had storm ravaged homes, and no other means to help themselves, except faith, when they realized GOD had sent workers to help them.
Sea Gate Baptist became the central hub for the Baptists on Mission rebuilding operation, over 8,500 volunteer days logged, over 25,000 meals served, and all the supporting logistics of housing and feeding volunteers, material acquisitions, along with keeping volunteers working, and other workings behind the scenes of disaster rebuilding operations went through Sea Gate Baptist.
Only through CHRIST was this total volunteer effort successful in helping Southeastern NC recover after Hurricane Florence.
A special THANK YOU to all the volunteers, area Churches, members and staff of Sea Gate Baptist for their support in these ministries. It would not have been possible without your support.
