Christian Friends of New Americans

06/08/2026

At CFNA, our service to our neighbors is fueled by the good news of Jesus our Savior. 🕊️✨

We view every act of service—whether teaching a driving lesson, sharing a meal, or helping a child with homework—as a living witness to God's love. We rejoice deeply when these connections blossom into faith.

By God’s grace, this dynamic mission society has been blessed to facilitate the baptism and confirmation of more than 250 New Americans, bringing them into the warmth and promises of God’s family.

As Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison shared: “They serve as a model for how to love your neighbor through service and witness.” We give all thanks to the Holy Spirit for continuing to bring health, hope, and faith to our diverse community.

Investing in the future means investing in the next generation! 🎒✏️✨

Our After-School Tutoring program is a vibrant space where children from around the world gather to get homework help, strengthen their literacy skills, and feel encouraged in their education.

As supporters Ed and Julaine Luhmann beautifully shared, “We love CFNA because it gives children from around the world the opportunity to rebuild their lives in the United States!” Through education and mentorship, we get to watch these resilient students grow in confidence and community every single week. Thank you to everyone who supports our youth programs through volunteering or giving!
