Refugee Family Support

First Baptist Church has taken on the challenge of supporting a refugee family from Afghanistan. Our goal is to help acclimate the family to life here in our community, to help them maneuver socially and economically in this environment, to experience happiness and fulfillment. In addition to offering financial support to this family through our annual operating budget, we are also working with volunteers in our congregation to help with resume development, job search, budgeting, and financial management. Volunteers are also simply spending time developing friendships with this family, as well as offering emotional support to the mother in this family during her pregnancy.
