Resources
Get Involved
Across the globe, more than 123 million people have been forced from their homes — 49 million of them children. Families who once lived in safety now face the unimaginable, driven out by war, disaster, and poverty. But this isn’t just their story — it’s our calling. As followers of Christ, we seek to reflect His love by offering welcome, belonging, and hope to those seeking refuge.
The good news is that we can make that hope real — right here in our own community. Through prayer, advocacy, and service, we join God in His work of restoration, walking alongside refugees and immigrants as they find safety, friendship, and a future. There are several ways to serve, and we've done our best to organize the opportunities here.
Our goal is to provide resources that can help inform and equip you. Here are some that we recommend:
