The “New Roots” Program – how do we serve?

The New Roots program exists to support Ukrainian communities and other immigrant communities in Poland as they navigate adaptation, integration, and the building of a stable life.

We work in partnership with Polish churches as well as Ukrainian churches registered with the Baptist Union in Poland, believing that the Church can be a real source of support in the everyday challenges of migration.

What do we do? 🤍

🤝 we support leaders and those involved in ministry within local communities (the Leader project),

📈 through the Integration project, we help people with a refugee experience find their place in Polish society by offering language courses, support in developing professional skills, and assistance with administrative and formal matters,

🏖️ we co-fund holiday and break-time trips for children and youth through the Holidays / Winter Breaks project, organized by Ukrainian communities,

🎁 we implement the Emmanuel project—Christmas gatherings, gift packages for children, and evangelistic outreach in cooperation with local churches,

💞 we walk alongside communities, offering organizational, pastoral, and relational support.

📅 In 2026, we especially plan to:

- continue and further develop the existing New Roots projects,

- strengthen leaders and local communities,

- organize additional integration initiatives and trips for children and youth,

- launch the Provision project—food assistance for families in difficult circumstances,

- deepen cooperation between Polish and Ukrainian churches.

🙏 Our desire is that immigrant communities would not be left on their own,

and that the Church would be a place of help, relationship, and hope 🌱
