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.
Midlands Churches Connect
Welcome Churches is on the road! We are coming to Birmingham on Saturday 22nd November 2025. Join us to celebrate the joy, growth, and revival that happen when refugees are welcomed by churches across the Midlands. The day will include a range of activities to inspire, encourage and equip, and is aimed at people both with lived experience of seeking refuge and without.
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.
Will your church take part?
