VOLUNTEERS
In 2023, MBC began offering beginner English classes to newcomers in response to the growing number of newcomers to Canada. (There were 47,000 newcomers to Alberta in 2023.) We know newcomers have unique needs and challenges through our refugee assistance program and interactions with refugees, foreign students, foreign workers, and those seeking permanent residence.
This MELL ministry seeks to support them and our MBC Mission statement:
Right Relationships: With God. One Another. Our Neighbour
By
- Creating a welcoming space for newcomers within the local church
- Building friendships cross-culturally with our new neighbours
- Giving newcomers opportunities to discover/support their faith in Jesus Christ
- Developing English skills to help them in their daily lives
Please consider volunteering for MELL this fall!
