The Immigrant work in the Evangelical Lutheran Parish Union of Vaasa welcomes you!

Our activities are open to persons of all nationalities, backgrounds and denominations. We wish to simply offer you a place where you can share fellowship with Christians, no matter your own conviction. You might get new friends and that often helps if you have to make “new beginnings in a new place”.

There are many activities and events that are in Finnish or Swedish and they are also open to everyone if you don´t feel the language is a problem. The immigrant work has activities that are especially planned for “international people” and we form quite a big international family if we all would get together at the same time.

Activities and Events

• There are worship services aprox. once a month in English, a Biblestudy group in English,
• We sometimes go on a bustrip somewhere and for the big Christian festivities we have Services and Celebrations.
• There are groups for mothers and toddlers in some areas of town and the youth take part in the ordinary youthwork.
• Confirmation groups, baptisms and counselling is also available in English or with translations.
