Rooted in Christ's love, Tenth has been welcoming refugee claimants into friendship, housing, and a community of hope since 2016.
Housing
Thanks to valuable partners and generous congregants, Tenth Church is able to welcome newcomer refugee claimants into a number of homes and offer them temporary housing (3-6 months). Welcomed families are supported with groceries, transportation, and essentials. As they embark on their road to resettlement, we share their journey by offering friendship and practical support.
Community Life
We believe there is a healing and transformative power in feeling a sense of belonging and being connected to others. In serving our community of 400+ refugee claimants, we organize regular gatherings, events, and meals. Our prayer is that we can become a community of hope for all.

"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
Leviticus 19:33-34
