The Journey to Equality in Education Continues
Immigration has long shaped the American story—and the church has often been called to respond with compassion, wisdom, and practical support for those seeking a better future. This class will explore the intersection of faith, immigration, and educational opportunity right here at Westminster.
Together, we will reflect on the ways our church has built ministries to welcome the stranger and care for our neighbors, while also examining the modern realities facing immigrant youth in the United States—particularly students who pursue higher education despite significant legal and financial barriers.
The class will also highlight the work of Equal Chance for Education (ECE), a Tennessee-based nonprofit that supports students who are FAFSA ineligible but are determined to pursue college degrees. Through scholarship support, mentoring, and community, ECE helps students transform perseverance into opportunity.
Participants will learn about the challenges these young people face, the gifts they bring to our communities, and ways people of faith can support pathways to education and hope. All are welcome.
