Focused Programming for Immigrants, Refugees & Those Who Work with Them

This conference will include a special focus on and for immigrants and refugees. Youth and adults who have immigrated to North America are especially invited to attend. Youth who are immigrants or from immigrant families will take part in the conference youth group – special effort will be made to welcome them and help them integrate into the conference community. A networking seminar and focused workshops will be offered for churches which already have significant immigrant/refugee membership. Workshops and other resources will be available for churches interested in beginning these ministries as well. Contact us if you’d like to take part this focused programming.
