Houston Welcomes Refugees
Support for Refugees in Houston
At Bible Baptist Church, we are proud to be part of a community that welcomes refugees with open arms. Houston, known for its diversity and inclusivity, has become a safe haven for individuals and families seeking refuge from conflict and persecution around the world.

Services and Programs
Through various programs and services, Bible Baptist Church offers comprehensive support to refugees, empowering them to integrate successfully into their new community. Some of our key initiatives include:
1. Language and Cultural Integration
We offer language classes to help refugees build their English skills, enabling them to communicate effectively and participate fully in society. Additionally, our cultural integration workshops provide valuable insights into American customs and traditions, ensuring a smoother transition.

Securing employment is crucial for refugees to become self-sufficient and regain their independence. Our employment assistance program connects refugees with job opportunities, offers resume building workshops, and provides guidance on navigating the job market.

Finding suitable housing is a top priority for refugees upon arrival. Our church community works closely with local organizations to assist refugees in finding affordable and safe housing options. We also provide guidance on navigating the rental market and connecting with supportive resources.

We recognize the importance of education for refugee children and youth. Through our education and youth programs, we offer tutoring services, after-school activities, and mentorship opportunities to help them excel academically and develop important life skills.
