How we serve
Bible Studies: We have numerous teachers well-equipped to share God’s message, while assisting our international community in their English proficiency.
English as Second Language (ESL): We offer classes in a variety of different formats, from current events to preparation for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Conversation Partners/Small Groups: We connect English speakers with our international members for more personal conversations to assist with English and navigating life here in the U.S. — and beyond.
Sewing and Cooking Classes: We also offer recreational classes to build community across cultural lines.
Social Events: Often hosted by member churches or connected with local sites (e.g., Potter Park Zoo), the Friendship House MSU’s calendar is often full of events that bring internationals and U.S. residents together.
Virtual Global Connections: We learned during the pandemic that internationals, from here and around the world, both alumni and new students, are making use of our virtual classes and social gathering. We will continue being virtual to support our global community.
