We are all made in the image of God.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every person is created in the image of God and carries inherent dignity and sacred worth. Yet across our immigration system, people are experiencing policies and practices that separate families, restrict religious freedom, disrupt churches and communities, and treat immigrant neighbors as less than fully human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This campaign calls Christians to faithful witness wherever the dignity and freedom of immigrant neighbors are threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • We believe immigrants should be free to worship, pray, access Scripture, and receive pastoral care – God\u2019s care and concern for people are not limited by legal status.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • We believe families should be protected and children should not bear the cost of immigration enforcement.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • We believe immigrants should not be subjected to unnecessary shackling, surveillance, family separation, mass dockets, or other dehumanizing treatment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And we believe churches must be free to care for, accompany, and stand with immigrant members of their congregations and communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
