ABOUT THE NETWORK
The Churches Welcoming Refugees network connects churches, agencies, and individuals to support refugees through resourcing, equipping, collaborating, and advocacy. This initiative began with a gathering of over 100 people in February 2023, organized by Citygate and hosted by agencies and churches, including Kinbrace, Journey Home, Inasmuch, Tenth Church and St. John’s Vancouver. Since then, the network has hosted multiple gatherings, both virtual and in-person. In February 2024, over 80 participants convened to explore housing solutions, forming groups to pursue short-term, transitional, and long-term housing initiatives.
