Kentucky Refugee MinistriesBack to Top
What We Do
Kentucky Refugee Ministries Inc. is the refugee resettlement office in the state of Kentucky for two national church-based programs: The Episcopal Migration Ministries and Church World Service. Kentucky Refugee Ministries is authorized by the U.S. Dept. of State to assist refugees who have been legally admitted to the United States, as victims of warfare or other forms of persecution because of their religious or political beliefs.
Our program began in 1990 as an outreach of the Presbyterian denomination, shortly after the location of the Presbyterian Church (USA) headquarters in Louisville. It then expanded to include all of the Protestant denominations which make up the National Council of Churches, and then in 1994, added affiliation with the Episcopal Migration Ministries, the resettlement program of the Episcopal Church.
Kentucky Refugee Ministries now employs 30 people, who work both full- and part-time to serve refugees. Our staff includes caseworkers, job developers, and interpreters. Refugees themselves have been hired on our program staff and serve on our board of directors. Our staff speaks English, Spanish, Bosnian, French, Somali and German and also works closely with contract interpreters who speak other languages native to the refugees we serve. Our main office and ESL school are both located at 969B Cherokee Rd. in Louisville. We also have a suboffice in Lexington.
