Congregations and Immigration

Congregations have identified the desire to not only understand the challenges and complexities their immigrant congregants and neighbors face in immigration matters, but also the desire to equip their members to best support immigrants in Indiana. The workshop is for any congregation that currently engages with the immigrant community, or any congregation that desires to engage more with the immigrant community. All are welcome!

Participants will learn the basic principles of immigration law, how the system currently works (the “life cycle” of obtaining a lawful visa), and better understand the myths surrounding immigration law. Participants will also learn how they can support immigrant neighbors and will have contact information for local and national agencies engaged in this work.
