Welcome
Welcoming is a lifestyle of prioritizing God’s mission to “make disciples of all nations” by intentionally engaging those around you from different cultures. God is bringing the nations to our neighborhoods, making it possible for us to show and share the love of Jesus with the nations where we live, work, learn, and play.
Check out these wonderful ways to BLESS those around you:
Serve Refugees
Participate in a serve day where you have the opportunity to connect personally with refugee families in a relational setting. In partnership with local ministries, we host a few refugee serve days a year. If you’re interested in being updated about our upcoming refugee serve opportunities, click here!
Help Others Learn English
English Language Ambassadors
Help immigrants and refugees from unreached areas of the world learn English through our local ministry partners, English Language Ambassadors (ELA)!
Are you an English-speaking woman who desires to be used by God to transform lives? We have an incredible opportunity to respond to the needs of the refugee women in our community by meeting with them once a week to teach English, develop a relationship, and share the love of Jesus. You don't need to have prior experience teaching English because training will be provided and you'll be paired with an experienced teacher to start, or you can 'shadow' a class before making a commitment.
