Overview

TOGETHER WE SPEAK

Community Conversation Circle

“Together we speak, together we learn, together we grow.”
Building bridges through language, community, and service.

The Community Conversation Circle is a church ministry whose purpose is to support Spanish-speaking immigrants in learning and practising English in a safe, welcoming, and structured environment.

Through simple, guided conversations based on everyday situations, participants build confidence in speaking English while becoming more fully integrated into the community. This space is made possible by volunteers who generously offer their time, listening, and encouragement.

This is not an academic course, but a community-based ministry where we learn together and live out the Gospel through service.

👉 If English is your first language and you feel called to serve our immigrant community, we warmly invite you to join us as a volunteer. Your presence helps ease fears, restore confidence, and remind each person that they are not alone on this journey. Here, language becomes a bridge, and service becomes a living prayer.


“I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35)
