Refugee & Immigrant Ministries

Welcome New Neighbors with World Relief

For over 25 years, we have partnered with World Relief to provide friendship and services to refugee and immigrant families. We seek to love and serve these new neighbors by helping them rebuild their lives and walking alongside them.


“For I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

World Relief is welcoming families and individuals arriving from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Congo, Sudan, Nepal, and many other countries.

You can help:

Tutoring Clubs

Help a child in an after-school tutoring club on-site at local public schools or via virtual tutoring. Tutors are wanted for elementary, middle, and high school students.

On-Call Helpers

Provide airport pick-ups for newly-arriving refugees, rides to appointments, and help with apartment set-up. Flexible timing, only when it fits your schedule (usually 48 hr notice).

Friendship Partners

Good Neighbor Teams
