Engage with other pastors, ministry leaders, and missionaries around this important, timely topic about Standing with Refugees – as we are both pro-security and pro-refugee.
Learn facts and ways to talk about the status of the church’s call and ability to welcome refugees.
John Crosby, Senior Pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church will discuss the Biblical mandate for welcoming refugees and the sojourner.
Patricia Fenrick, Refugee Workforce Development and Outreach Specialist at the Minnesota Department of Human Services will present on security and vetting measures all refugees must go through.
Bob Oehrig, Executive Director at Arrive Ministries will give an overview of the refugees coming to Minnesota and address myths and misunderstandings about refugees and other immigrants in the USA.
The program will also include extended time for Q&A and stories of recently arrived refugees.
Please join this relevant conversation, ask questions, and receive resources and practical next steps for the Church and its call to welcome refugees.
