International Student Host Family Program

The HGCS International Student Host Family Program provides a unique opportunity for members of Hickory Grove Baptist Church and families with students enrolled at HGCS to welcome international students into their homes and lives as part of their own families.

Host families offer love, support, and a sense of belonging while sharing their faith and introducing students to American culture and Christian living. We often refer to this ministry as “missions in reverse.” Rather than traveling overseas to serve as missionaries, host families become missionaries in their own homes, building meaningful relationships and sharing the love of Christ with students from around the world.

Through this ministry, we have the privilege of living out our mission to know Christ and make Him known to the nations.
