MISSION & VISION.
Micah House welcomes newly arrived refugee claimants to Hamilton with God's love by providing safe shelter, assisting with settlement and creating passages into the community.​
​
We will seek to expand and develop the funding and programming of the ministry in order to meet the needs of as many refugees as we can responsibly manage. Our goal is to leverage our expertise to educate the community about immigration, refugees, and systemic injustice.
MICAH HOUSE VALUES.
We value:
-
Christian faith. We live by our Christian faith and care for newcomers in response to God's call (Matthew 25:35).
-
Human dignity. We respect individuals based on our belief that each person is created in the image of God.
-
Hospitality. Our home provides a safe and warm welcome for newcomers to Canada, without discrimination.
-
Partnership. We believe in the importance of working in collaboration with individuals, groups and other organizations in the mission of welcome, settlement and advocacy.
