Immigration Resources

We know many immigrants call the Vineyard home, including some of our pastors. God calls us all to love immigrants. Scripture says, “The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 19:34) But how do we apply this command from scripture in our challenging political climate where domestic policies are changing rapidly, and our noncitizen brothers and sisters are more and more afraid?

We do not seek to make empty partisan political statements. Instead, we seek the Lord for wisdom and courage to be obedient as we love the vulnerable in our midst. World Relief, the humanitarian arm of the National Association of Evangelicals (of which Vineyard USA is a part), is leading the way with dynamic resources to equip you, your church, and your community.

Please take advantage of the resources on their Immigration Hub, including sermon series, Bible studies, “know your rights” documents, information about “ICE sensitive locations” policy changes, and more. Stay tuned for more support and guidance coming from our Vineyard family. Note: While we partner with WorldRelief, please be aware that Vineyard USA did not create these resources.

Jesus, help us love your people - ICE agents and immigrants alike.

In the wake of MLK Day, we are challenged to put into practice the ways Dr. King fought for justice. One core discipleship strategy for the Church was the work of nonviolence, the commitment towards love in the face of hate, and peace in the face of conflict. In previous years we've hosted webcasts examining the principles and steps of nonviolence, and this year we will be digging a little deeper as we host a five-week cohort on “Formation & Nonviolence” which focuses on the ten practices of spiritual formation and nonviolence.

Beginning Friday, February 7 at 12pm EST, we will learn from various pastors and leaders from Vineyard USA. We'd love for you to join us!
