With a study guide and accompanying videos, each session invites you into deeper reflection on the realities of immigration today, guided by the voices of faith leaders, theologians, advocates, and immigrants themselves.
Immigration is not merely a political issue—it is a theological and spiritual matter deeply rooted in our Christian faith. The United Methodist Church has spoken clearly on this matter:
“We oppose all laws and policies that attempt to criminalize, dehumanize, or punish displaced individuals and families based on their status as migrants, immigrants, or refugees... We challenge policies that call for the separation of families... and we oppose the existence of for-profit detention centers for such purposes.”
Social Principles ¶163.G

This study is intended for group use—whether in Sunday School, small groups, or Bible studies—and is especially recommended for congregations who are already actively engaging in immigration justice.
