Jesus emphasized welcoming, loving, and protecting immigrants—referred to as “strangers” or “foreigners”—as a core requirement of faith, often equating care for them with care for Himself. Key teachings, such as in Matthew 25:31-46, indicate that nations will be judged on how they treat the needy, including the foreigner. Special thanks to our city councilwoman Elena Little and our Mayor James Solomon for hosting a Know Your Rights As An Immigrant workshop for the community.

As followers of Jesus, we understand that God has equipped us with militant joy to protect and serve for the good of ALL people.
