Church of the Nations is ministry with internationals
that partners with University Baptist Church. Our
vision is:
-
to be a church family for all people - and
especially to minister among international students
and scholars and their families
-
to minister to the physical, social, and spiritual
needs of internationals - especially those who do
not have a Christian background
-
to help internationals learn about the Christian
faith and grow in their Christian faith and to offer
an environment that helps them adapt to and survive
within American culture - but also respects and
encourages them as participants in their native
culture(s)
-
to help internationals exercise leadership and
practice ministry in their own right.
The main ways we minister with internationals include
English Conversation on Friday nights, Bible study and
worship on Sunday mornings, free lunch after worship
the first Sunday of each month, periodic field trips
and retreats, special events such as our annual
Welcome (Back) Picnic - but most of all
befriending and
loving internationals.
