The Christian Education and the Missions & Outreach Committees are

hosting a community education presentation by iFace staff on serving internationals in our community in light of immigration policy changes. iFace is a Christian non-profit that serves internationals who come to the Upstate for university and English language study, work (immigrant and expat) and those forcibly displaced (refugees).  Equipping volunteers and church partners is a key part of their ministry work inviting Christians to join together to serve King Jesus. During this meeting we will present data, practical suggestions, pray, and answer questions. This meeting is NOT focused on political parties or agendas. It is focused on how to best love and serve those that God has brought to us from around the world. The event will be held on Tuesday, April 1, 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Please click the link below or call the Church Office at (864) 288-3951
