Christ Community Church has launched a two-year campaign to adopt and revitalize two struggling churches in communities that need healthy, gospel-proclaiming, churches like Christ Community.

Refugee Simulation Experience | Saturday, November 7
Christ Community Church, St. Charles/South Elgin Campus
Step into the story of a refugee family and experience, in a small way, the uncertainty, difficult choices, and loss that can come with displacement. This immersive experience is designed to help us see refugees first as people made in the image of God, grow in empathy, and consider how compassion can become action.

Sessions begin at 10 and 11am (and noon if earlier sessions reach capacity).

Each experience lasts approximately 75–90 minutes and includes five interactive modules, multimedia, role-play, guided reflection, and practical next steps. Participants will move through a simulated refugee journey that includes leaving home, navigating border crossings, difficult decisions, life in a refugee camp, and a guided debrief led by Exodus World Services. Come ready to participate, reflect, and consider what it looks like to put compassion into action.
