The purpose of this program is to work through our growing network of Immigrant Welcoming congregations to be an extension of God’s welcoming, healing embrace to the thousands of unaccompanied migrant children (and their families) who have made the perilous journey from Central America to seek refuge among us. Our overarching goal is to reach out to these children and their families through United Methodist Churches located near them becoming places of welcome and healing for them through partnerships with community organizations.
