Newcomers Connect
A safe haven for newcomers
Moving to a new city — or a new country — is one of life's biggest steps. There are systems to learn, paperwork to navigate, and a whole new community to build from scratch. At Kingdom Stars Assembly, you don't have to do it alone.
Newcomers Connect exists to be a genuine safe haven for those arriving in Guelph and across Canada. We combine the warmth of a church family with practical, hands-on help — so that from your very first week, you have people in your corner and a place to belong.
How We Help
Four teams, one warm welcome
Arrival Team
For those newly landed in Guelph, our Arrival Team helps you find your feet in the very first days — a friendly face at the airport or your door, help with the essentials, and answers to the questions no one tells you to ask.
Connect Team
Settling in is easier in company. Our Connect Team introduces you to the church family, helps you build friendships, and makes sure you never have to figure life in a new country out on your own.
Welfare & Settlement
Practical help for practical needs — guidance on daycare and schools, access to food resources, and support finding housing and getting set up so your family can settle with dignity.

From resume help and job-search support to pointing you toward trusted immigration guidance, this team walks with you as you build a stable, thriving future in Canada.
Practical Support
Real help for real needs
Daycare & Family
Guidance on finding daycare, schools and childcare so your children are cared for while you build your new life.
Employment
