Here at Highland, we believe we are actively called to welcome the immigrant, migrant, and refugee among us, in accordance with the United Methodist Church’s Social Principles. As such, we welcome them with the fullness of Christian love, remembering that as we welcome these, our brothers and sisters, we welcome Jesus our Lord.
Here are the ways we’re living into our calling to support immigrants, migrants, and refugees:
Take Action: Protect Immigrant Families & Communities – Support the Sensitive Locations Act (H.R. 1061)

Highland’s Work with BELONG NC
We are honored to partner with BELONG NC to help refugees and immigrants feel safe and welcome in the Raleigh community by providing language and job skills training, as well as preschool offerings.
Our youth have had the opportunity to work with BELONG NC several times–learn more about their experience by checking out these videos! And if you are interested in serving alongside us with BELONG NC in the future, please let us know! We have several opportunities available in 2026. Contact Neil Smith for more information.
