Join us for this time of listening, sharing, worshiping and savoring the wisdom of immigrant new worshiping communities. Discover the secret sauce of supporting and encouraging our witness together as we explore the ingredients of successful partnerships with immigrant new worshiping communities and learn the kitchen secrets from new worshiping community, mid council, and denominational leaders.

Written by three seasoned NWC leaders* from Brazil, Korea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this new resource includes story, case study and best practices centered in the immigrant experience of starting new communities within the PC(USA). The stories and ideas included will help your congregation or presbytery listen for how the Spirit of God is calling you to welcome newcomers with mutuality and solidarity in worship and in witness.

*The leaders who contributed to this work are our own Rev. Rafael Viana (Brazil), Rev. Sungwoo Sam Kim (South Korea), and Rev. Gad Mpoyo (Democratic Republic of the Congo).
