About Us

ABOUT US

Tucson Refugee Ministry was established by Cherie Gray in 2006 to build bridges between the Church and the refugees of Tucson.

VISION STATEMENT

By 2035 Tucson will be recognized as a place where refugees are welcomed and become an integral part of our city. TRM empowers the community to follow the Good Samaritan’s example, working together to help every refugee family become self-sufficient, create a home and discover their place in God’s plan.

MISSION STATEMENT

Walking with refugees on the path to flourishing

ENDS

1. Churches Transformed into Communities of Radical Welcome

Inspiring and mobilizing churches across Tucson to engage refugees on the path to flourishing 

2. Refugees Holistically Flourishing

Walking alongside refugees to cultivate holistic well-being—social, emotional, spiritual, physical and economic flourishing

3. A Flourishing City

We catalyze collaboration across Tucson—churches, agencies, established refugees and neighbors—to create a support network where no refugee walks alone
