The Community Affairs Corporation also offers:
- English Language classes
- Naturalization/Citizenship classes
- Health seminars
English language classes are taught by volunteers to help immigrants communicate while doing everyday tasks, such as buying groceries at the supermarket, asking for help at the post office, going to the bank, etc. The classes also include trips to museums and an introduction to American customs. Citizenship classes are available to enable immigrants to take their citizenship tests.
Health seminars are run every year over the concern for the public and our church members. We believe that we should care for our health as we are the body of Christ so that we may have the energy and strength to serve him.
For additional information on the Classes and Health Seminars, send an email to FCPCCOMMAFF@Yahoo.com.
