Refuge Network

of English Ministries

Refuge’s ESL Network exists for the glory of God and the sake of the gospel.

We seek to teach English with excellence so newcomers are empowered to successfully:

  • Use the language

  • Navigate the culture

  • Flourish on a new path in a new place

Interested students are welcome to attend a class at any time!

Registration is rolling and on-site. Interested students are welcome to begin at any time! Email info@refugeintl.org or call 502-610-3462 to find information about locations and times to begin classes.*Classes meet year-round, except for a brief pause during the months of June and December.

Within the Refuge Network Of English Ministries, there are numerous ESL sites that  have regular need for volunteers willing to serve in teaching and non-teaching roles.  These ESL ministries are classroom-based and meet once a week for one and a half to two hours on the site of a partner church. No prior ESL teaching experience is necessary as teacher training is provided during the application process.

Volunteer opportunities at our ESL sites include teaching, assistant teaching, childcare, registration & check-in, hospitality, and driving. After completing Refuge International's volunteer application process,* volunteers receive additional, specialized training in English instruction. Click on the button below to begin the volunteer application process or email info@refugeintl.org with any questions.

*If you are a member of the church at which your ESL site is located, please complete part one.
