Help Resettle Refugees in the South Bay
The newly formed South Bay Refugee Resettlement Team invites you to learn how we can help resettle a refugee family in the area through the US State Department & Community Sponsorship Hub’s – Sponsor Circles Program (formerly Welcome Corps). There are lots of opportunities both big and small to lend a hand. Remember, Jesus was a refugee!
The Sponsor Circle Program is a community-led resettlement initiative that allows everyday Americans to take on the responsibility of welcoming a newcomer to their communities.
Program Update: Abrupt changes to U.S. immigration policy have disrupted refugee resettlement and cut off access to resources for newcomers. This has led to two failed matching attempts for our team in Fall of 2024 and March 2025. We have been rematched with a new family of 4 from Afghanistan (Father, Mother, and 2 very young boys who should be arriving in early April. Please pray for the refugees around the world and trust that the Lord will provide for the needs of his children.
YES, I want to help!
Donate to help support this refugee family
Help us welcome the refugee family during their transition to life in America, please fill out this Interest Form and we will contact you.
The goal is to help provide a safe and smooth transition for the family in their first 90 days, not to adopt the family long term. Key is to be welcoming, friendly, and promote independence while making new friends and connecting them to the community. For more information contact Joe Tvrdy at the Church Office.
