Welcome Network
Welcome Network is the new name for the Welcome House Community Network, which was established in 2020 as a signature missions ministry of CBFNC to link churches across North Carolina and beyond who have Welcome Houses and other expressions of Christian hospitality ministries.
Welcome Network is a collaborative ministry that provides a tangible expression of every disciple’s call to love the stranger and to invite them into God’s beloved community as neighbor (Matt.25: 35-36). The Welcome Network empowers, connects and inspires local congregations to engage in ministries of welcome in their communities.
The goal of the network is to provide temporary housing and Christian hospitality to those in need in a variety of circumstances—from refugees to the homeless to victims of abuse and more. In just three short years, the ministry has grown to over 40 Welcome House expressions throughout North Carolina and beyond with about 60 churches engaging in this ministry of welcome in the name of Jesus.
