Our vision is for every refugee to be welcomed by a local church
If every church welcomed people seeking refuge in their community then we could easily see our vision become a reality!
No matter where your church is, there is something that you can do to welcome refugees and asylum seekers into your community.
Carol Concerts, Christian Nationalism, and the Biblical Call to Love
In a time when some voices use Christian language to promote division and nationalism, the Bible reminds us that the heart of faith is love, welcome, and inclusion. From the Good Samaritan to the call to “love the foreigner as yourself,” Scripture challenges us to break down walls and embrace those who are different.
Read James’ reflection on carols, Christian nationalism, and the biblical call to love here:
Churches often stay silent on refugees, asylum, and immigration - but true restoration and growth come through honest, open conversations.
Join I'm Not Being Funny, But..., a nationwide survey gathering real reflections from churches. We’ll help you interpret the results, plan next steps, and foster meaningful discussions.
