#WeChooseWelcome
Like most church congregations, we worship, study, pray and care for one another. Our passion is working together to try to make the world a better place. By doing tangible, concrete things that improve people’s lives, we honor God and live out what Jesus meant when he said, “Love God and love your neighbor.” If that resonates with you, we hope you’ll come visit.

Summer Exhibition
Dreamers of Columbus
Dreamers of Columbus Portraits in Palmer Hall hallway
Striking photographic portraits of local Dreamers with quotes from each.
Candid photographs by Columbus College of Art and Design graduate student and photojournalist Sahar Fadaian. Sahar initiated this project to portray an intimate face of Dreamers that goes beyond political status and into their personal lives. Quotes from each Dreamer were collected in conversational interviews by journalist Leticia Wallace to let the Dreamers speak for themselves. The exhibit is open through Friday, August 17, Monday-Friday, 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and Sundays from 9:30-11:00 a.m. We encourage you to come view this thought-provoking show.
On Thursday, June 21 from 6:00-6:30 p.m., please come to Palmer Hall for our exhibit’s opening reception. From 6:30-7:30 p.m. we’ll have a panel discussion with local DACA recipients and moderator Derick DeHart, COO of DACA Time.

A Broad Street tradition has been to welcome mission teams home at the airport. Join us! Call BSPC for details.
In 2012, the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program was formed through an executive order by President Obama. This immigration policy allowed undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as minors to be protected from immediate deportation and to receive work authorization. DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, could request “consideration of deferred action” for a period of two years, which was subject to renewal. However, for many Dreamers, the process is complicated and expensive, requiring applicants to complete complex forms by hand. Determined to address this barrier, a group of local entrepreneurs, including BSPC members Brook Kohn and Jean-Yves Kasonga Beya, have come together to create and launch a website http://www.dacatime.com/ that supports Dreamers in the application process and in this new uncertain time. On Sunday, June 24th at 11:15 p.m. in Palmer Hall, join Jean-Yves and members of the Social Justice Committee for a conversation about the website and the current status of Dreamers.
