Moving to a new country is not easy. Whether you arrive as a refugee or a skilled worker, alone or with a family, there are many challenges in managing daily life.
Many congregations in BC Synod support newcomers to Canada in various ways. Some congregations have sponsored refugees, helping families settle in their new lives in a safe country. Others provide English conversation classes to all who are new. Many have welcomed immigrants into membership and leadership of the congregations.
Welcome Angels started as a Lutheran ministry in the Eastern Synod of the ELCIC. The ministry's goal is to connect volunteer churches to newcomers to Canada, creating community support for those settling to a new life here.
OUR VISION:
The Welcome Church Initiative is named “Welcome Angels,” with the aim to show radical love and hospitality in Christ, to care for the practical, social, and spiritual needs of the newcomers.
OUR MISSION: Connecting & Referring
Our mission is to receive anyone who has newly settled in Canada, connect and refer them to local welcome angels and a local welcoming church.
在一個新的國家安頓下來並不容易。有很多新的東西需要學習，要尋找新的資訊，會遇到很多新的朋友。 但是你不需要一個人需要獨自面對。我們希望與您建立聯繫，我們來自當地歡迎教會的接待天使, 將與您一起同行。

所以我們的使命是接待每一個新來加拿大的人。聯繫與轉介當地的接待天使和歡迎教會。
