Episcopal Migration Ministries supports dioceses and ministry networks around the church by serving communities, addressing global migration, and protecting the rights of migrants. We educate and equip church partners around The Episcopal Church and work alongside Anglican Communion provinces on many aspects of migration, seeking to welcome and protect the vulnerable.

Resources for Congregations
EMM regularly updates this curated list of resources.
In the Christian liturgical year, Advent is a time of waiting and preparation for the birth of Jesus, a time of prayerful yearning for Emmanuel, “God with us.” To honor and mark this holy time, EMM offers Las Posadas, a church-wide Christmas pageant that invites us to experience the journey of the Holy family.
This prayer vigil liturgy, offered by Episcopal Migration Ministries, is a poignant way to remember those fleeing persecution, war, and seeking safety, just as Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus did.
EMM staff and volunteer ambassadors often speak and give presentations to congregations, community groups, in academic settings, and more, to explain the global refugee crisis, US resettlement, EMM’s ministry, and how individuals and groups can be involved in the work of welcome.
Episcopal Migration Ministries offers several book discussion kits as a way to empower local congregations, book clubs, and other groups to learn more about immigrant communities and individuals.
The Episcopal Public Policy Network offers advocacy and action opportunities to help you voice your support for our newest neighbors. Join today!
