Church of the Nazarene Stance on Immigration

The US Immigration Task Force under the advisement of the USA National Board Christian Action Committee has endorsed the World Relief Statement in Support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The Task Force is an adhoc group that was formed to study ways in which we, as a denomination could respond to the crisis in pending US immigration legislation."

World Relief, as an extension of the National Association of Evangelicals, works with, for, and from the Church to relieve human suffering, poverty and hunger worldwide in the name of Jesus Christ.

With the current debate on US immigration policy, World Relief is actively advocating for comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level, cooperating with other faith-based agencies, and working to engage the Evangelical community. Comprehensive immigration reform is advocated for as a non-partisan issue, in which evangelical Christians are being called to engage based upon Scripture and our moral values.

For further information on this statement and ways in which individuals can be involved, please see the World Relief Website.
