Immigration is Our Story
The CRCNA has an immigration story. Originally founded by Dutch Reformed immigrants in the mid-1800s, the immigrant experience is a significant part of our denomination’s history. Unless you are First Nations or descendents of enslaved peoples, your family has an immigration story, too.
To hear one another’s immigration stories and learn about immigration in the U.S. both yesterday and today, engage your congregation in the “Immigration Is Our Story” workshop. This workshop can last anywhere from 90-120 minutes.
This workshop was inspired by the Immigration Is Our Story audio series launched in the spring of 2019. By listening to the immigration stories of various CRC and RCA members, this project is intended to remind us of where many of us came from and what we have in common with today's immigrants. Listen to these stories here or by participating in the Immigration Is Our Story workshop.
