You're Welcome Here!
What started in 1982 as an urgent need to teach English to women refugees from Vietnam, now is a ministry reaching English learners from over 20 different languages.
Do not mistreat foreigners who are living in your land. Treat them as you would an Israelite, and love them as you love yourselves. Remember that you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God. - Leviticus 19:33-34 (GNT)
We will find a place for you in one of our language or U.S. Citizenship classes. You'll be welcomed and guided by our passionate, trained teachers.
