Arrive Ministries began in 1988 as World Relief Minnesota, as a ministry of the Greater Minnesota Association of Evangelicals.  In the 35 years of its existence, Arrive has welcomed over 11,000 refugees through its resettlement services and connected thousands of refugees to volunteers from local churches through its programs.

In 2013, our name was changed to Arrive Ministries to better recognize our identity as its own 501(c)(3) organization.  Arrive Ministries continues to function as the Minnesota affiliate of World Relief, a global Christian humanitarian organization.

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
