About Women of Welcome
Mission
Women of Welcome is a community dedicated to diving into the whole of scripture to understand God’s heart for the immigrant and refugee. We believe God calls us to a deep love for the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the forgotten. Together we’re on a journey to understand biblical hospitality in an authentic way.
The Greek word for hospitality is philoxenia; which literally means “the love of strangers”. Our mission is to follow Christ’s example of love, invitation, and generosity, especially to those who are pushed to the margins. Jesus went looking for these forgotten and underserved people, intentionally bringing them back into relationship and community, for God’s glory. We seek to do the same.
We believe:
- All people are made in the image of God and deserve love and care.
- Christians are anointed and called to be peacemakers everywhere we exist.
- We can have safe/secure borders and treat immigrants and refugees with compassion; these are not mutually exclusive concepts.
- We can all practice biblical hospitality, even if we don’t agree on politics or policies.
- Fear can divide us, yet we are invited into brave spaces that bring glory to God.
- Jesus never stops inviting, and we seek to do the same.
You are welcome here.

Engage in Bible studies
Women of Welcome grew out of a desire from Christians to engage the Bible more holistically on issues affecting immigrants and refugees. For us, these issues are primarily Biblical issues, not political. Our community was launched with a Bible study -which has been downloaded by over 100,000 women- and our collective desire to engage and learn more keeps growing.

Connect with Community
Following your compassion into this space can feel lonely. But be encouraged, we're a large community with intimate connection points to answer hard questions, educate you on tough issues, and encourage you all along the way. We're moving from compassion to confidence in these issues and we're looking forward to connecting you to this amazing community of like-minded women.
