Church Engagement
World Relief’s mission is to boldly engage the world's greatest crises in partnership with the church. For 37 years, we have seen churches across the greater Sacramento area answer the call to serve the vulnerable in our community. We would love to give your church that opportunity as well.
Church Partnerships
At World Relief Sacramento, we partner with churches to serve refugees and vulnerable immigrants, working together to cultivate a sense of belonging and support pathways to self-sufficiency.
Today, we are a growing movement of churches across Northern California, helping individuals and families build stability, integrate into their communities, and thrive.
Join us in welcoming our newest neighbors and being part of this life-changing work.
Start, Rise, Stand
Together, we can expand your congregation’s understanding of what it means to love, serve and learn from immigrants and refugees, as well as guide your church through a process we call START, RISE, and STAND.
START exploring what it might look like for your church to serve refugees and immigrants. We prepare an individualized plan for your congregation to learn and launch into a ministry of welcome.
RISE stands for Refugee and Immigrant Sunday Emphasis. We partner with you to design and deliver a customized event or program that will help your congregation understand God’s heart for refugees and immigrants.
STAND with refugees and immigrants by taking what you’ve learned from your RISE event and putting it into action to welcome refugees and immigrants in the community.
