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.
Important Announcement
After 8 amazing years with Welcome Churches, Emily Shepherd, our CEO and co-founder, will be moving on to new adventures. We're so grateful for her inspiring leadership, her passion and the impact she has had on our mission. Whilst we will miss her dearly, we are excited to see how God will continue to guide both Welcome Churches and Emily into the future. Join us in praying for the next leader God is calling to this ministry.
We’re hiring a new CEO!
Welcome Churches is seeking a visionary leader to guide our organisation into the future. As CEO, you will provide strategic leadership, ensure financial sustainability, and inspire our team to expand our impact in welcoming refugees and people seeking asylum.
If you’re passionate about social justice, have proven leadership experience, and share our vision of ensuring no refugee is alone, we’d love to hear from you.
