Grace Avenue’s “Welcome with Grace” ministry focuses on ensuring that those coming to our community from other countries can find a sense of belonging in their new home.  We do this in several different ways.  We host free english and citizenship classes, we provide apartment furnishings for refugee families, and we partner with Oak Lawn United Methodist Church’s “Dallas Responds” program which provides a variety of resources through their Migrant Welcome Center.

If you have any questions about any of our “Welcome with Grace” ministries, or have other ideas about how to assist our new neighbors, please contact Keri Keck at keri@graceavenue.org.  

Our Welcome Team works to supply apartment furnishings and other necessities to refugee families in North Texas.  

We are not currently seeking furnishings, but please check back here for updates.  

Contact Jeri Muller at jmuller97@gmail.com or Keri Keck at keri@graceavenue.org for more information.

We offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced adult english classes for those needing to improve their English skills. We also offer citizenship classes for those preparing to take the United States Citizenship Exam. Classes are open to the community and free of charge. Free children's ESL support & childcare are provided during class times.

Classes begin September 16, 2025
Tuesdays | 7:00-8:30pm | Room 211 at Grace Avenue UMC
Classes end November 18
