CBFNC partners with many churches and individuals with ministries to immigrant populations. There are policy changes happening in our country that directly impact the ministries of CBFNC and our partner congregations, especially ministries to our immigrant neighbors.  Our staff is continually cultivating resources to help our pastors and our churches respond to the refugee and immigration policy changes. We have compiled information from a number of trusted resources to offer guidance.  We will update this list frequently.
Remember to check back regularly for new information.

Partner with churches and missional catalysts to embrace neighbors with the love of Christ in our communities, state and world.

 

CBFNC promotes mission engagement of churches and individuals through close, meaningful relationships. The world is now our neighborhood. Transportation and communication technologies enable us to connect globally. People from around the world are coming to our state and local communities.

We embrace our neighbors through missions by resourcing local church mission engagement and supporting missional catalysts (i.e. field personnel and mission specialists). We focus especially on the newest neighbors in our communities, such as Latinos and other immigrants.

As we share God’s love in word and deed, we also seek to apply the Gospel to challenges such as racial injustice and other social needs, all in the name of Jesus Christ.
