Refugee Response Ministry
We follow Jesus and Make Him Known by welcoming some of our newest neighbors through the Refugee Response Ministry. There are many facets to the global refugee crisis, therefore, there are many ways for people to meaningfully respond. We are committed to a collaborative approach that prioritizes prayer, training and action. We seek to offer welcome in ways that are relational, responsive and resource-filled.
Responding to Those In Need
Many refugee families are in need of support as they rebuild their lives and establish self-sufficiency. As their new neighbors, we can offer friendship, resources, advocacy, and life-skills mentoring. We are calling our congregation to a collective response.
Volunteer
Volunteer your time in welcoming efforts through meeting one-time needs, serving more frequently in specific areas, or forming welcome teams to support a family with both relational and practical support.
