We believe that every church can become a more hospitable space for immigrants and refugees. The Refuge Network of ESL Ministries is expanding, and with it, the need for a powerful digital solution that simplifies operations, tracks meaningful data, and equips churches to launch and sustain English ministries with confidence.

ESL Platform Dashboard
This platform isn't just software—it's the operational foundation of a ministry in a box. And here's the good news: you've already proven it works. With 12 active ESL locations running today, you have a powerful proof of concept.
As you grow, the journey can be made remarkably seamless:
Google Forms, spreadsheets, Squarespace embeds, and constant emails
Site directors lack tools and volunteers lack clarity
Slow KPIs and impact hidden behind inconsistent records
Churches stall due to lack of clear tools, processes, and support

Reduced ESL ministry launch time from months to weeks with pre-built infrastructure.
Created a network effect where churches learn from each other and share best practices.

Streamlined registration process with digital forms, level assessments, and immediate class placement.
