Mission Statement

We are providing multilingual resources, supporting immigrant congregations, fostering cultural understanding, and equipping leaders to meet the unique spiritual and social needs of diverse language communities—so that all believers can be fully integrated into the body of Christ and grow as disciples.

Vision Statement

To cultivate a unified spiritual community where language diversity is embraced as a gift from God, allowing all people to experience and express their faith in meaningful ways. We envision a church where cultural and linguistic differences strengthen our collective witness, reflecting the Kingdom of God—where every nation, tribe, and tongue will worship together.

How we serve

· We help to network immigrant communities across the North American Division.

· We collaborate with unions and their conferences in ministries to these emerging communities.

· We monitor and oversee the language groups through advisories of differing language groups.

· We provide appropriations to financially support these emerging communities.

· We provide seminars and conferences on cultural intelligence.

· We provide multilingual resources connecting emerging communities with needed materials.

· We support camp meetings between unions when emerging people groups gather.

· We fund efforts that serve refugee and immigrant evangelism programs.
