Imago is committed to coming alongside those that are new to the Portland area through the immigrant and refugee experience. We invite our community to welcome with tangible action as we learn with and share with newcomers in our city.
For any questions or contacts, feel free to email alison@idcpdx.com for more info.
“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”
Leviticus 19:34
Newcomers & Refugees

If you are interested in getting involved as a student or volunteer, please email beacon@idcpdx.comto learn more. No formal teaching or second language skills are required, but can be helpful.
jubilee hall
Birthed out of the heart of one of Imago’s very own and through the generosity of Imago in giving toward Missional Grants, we proudly support the work happening at Jubilee Hall to employ and share life with immigrants now calling Portland home. You can give, volunteer, and dream with the Jubilee team by checking out their website.
Legal Aid Center
We launched the Imago Dei Legal Aid Center in June and are excited to partner with Administer Justice to provide trusted legal guidance to people at an affordable cost. While the Legal Aid Center does not specialize in any area of law, we are grateful to provide guidance in the area of immigration, among other things. The Legal Aid Center is open the forth Saturday of every month. Appointments are coordinated through Administer Justice and you can click here to schedule an appointment. If you’re interested in getting involved, email alison@idcpdx.com.
