Reflections on Faith: A Look into the Life of the Immigrant
Stories from the ICE Activity in Charlotte

We are honored to be joined by Rev. Kheresa Harmon, minister for children and their families at St. John’s Baptist Church in Charlotte. Kheresa holds an M. Div. from Campbell University Divinity School and a B.A. in Religion also from Campbell University. For nearly 30 years, Kheresa has participated in the Christian formation of children in various roles as a Sunday School teacher in three congregations, Volunteer Director of Children’s Church, leader of Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors groups, Vacation Bible School Director, and now as an ordained minister. Kheresa has served with St. John’s since the fall of 2022.

Kheresa will join other guests from the Charlotte area to share stories and reflections on their experience during the November 2025 ICE activity known as “Charlotte’s Web” and the continued impact on the community. Kheresa worked with many across the city of Charlotte to support churches and families during these ICE raids.

We hope you’ll join us for this conversation facilitated by Randy Carter, CBFNC Welcome Network Director.
