In 2020, 40.6% of the refugees settled in the United States were under the age of 18, according to the Office of Immigration Statistics.
Nashville is no stranger to welcoming children as refugees. The refugee children who resettle in South Nashville in their middle school years are the ones that struggle with the language and course work. They are also the ones who can break the generational cycles and help their families thrive in America.
Bible Study
Thrive Beyond meets every Monday evening from 6-8pm for an all ages Bible Study
What began as a hang out time one summer of around 15 teens has turned into a weekly Bible study open to all ages!
