Serving Refugee and Immigrant Neighbors

Navigating the challenges and opportunities of serving refugee and immigrant neighbors can be complex. Join us for an engaging discussion with Erin Kay and Luke Schmoll as they share their personal experiences and practical advice on how individuals and churches can step in to offer support and welcome. We’ll explore topics like employment, community connection, cultural differences, and the unique challenges faced in the current climate. Learn how to build meaningful relationships, provide essential assistance, and share the hope of the Gospel with those who have come to our communities.
