church partnerships
immigrant connection partners with
churches and congregations to stand with
and serve their immigrant neighbors.
Immigrant Connection specializes in partnering with churches that seek to
answer the Scriptural call to love, justice, and welcome.
​
Since 2014, Immigrant Connection has partnered with over 100 churches
through the Welcome Journey.
​​
THE WELCOME JOURNEY
​
The Welcome Journey mobilizes and equips local churches across the country to respond to God’s call with faith, love, and action. This Journey invites congregations through the steps of "Learn, Connect, & Welcome".
Learn​
​
In the Learn portion of The Welcome Journey, churches will anchor their understanding of immigrants and immigration in Scripture. Small group devotionals, book studies, sermons, workshop, and other learning opportunities make up this portion of the journey.
​
​
​CONNECT
​
In the Connect phase, churches connect with the larger Immigrant Connect Movement as well as with peers and ministry leaders through monthly Connection Calls and the annual Welcome Conference. Churches take the time and space to learn from and connect with those already engaged in the work.
​
​
WELCOME
​
With a strong foundation, churches move on to Welcome components of the Journey and start service programs in their churches like Conversational English Classes, Citizenship Classes, Family Resource Nights, Intake Partnerships, or Immigration Legal Service Sites.
