Migrant Justice Team

The mission statement of the Migrant Justice Team is as follows:

To facilitate the ongoing work of “Cultivating Life-Giving Relationships Rooted in God’s Love” with the migrants in the communities of the La Crosse Area Synod.

• We do this work by coordinating:

• Volunteer Opportunities

• Giving Opportunities

• Advocacy Opportunities

• Community Building Opportunities

• Educational Opportunities

The team is a sub-committee of the Synod Church in Society Committee and is actively pursuing these opportunities. We are seeking to involve congregations and individuals from throughout our Synod. Our current project, welcoming and supporting seasonal workers being lodged at Sugar Creek Bible Camp, is an example of the relationships we are building with migrants in our Synod. You are invited to participate with financial support, or by joining with us in the ministry we are doing. We are seeking volunteers who would like to serve on this sub-committee. You are welcome to join in this important and meaningful work! If you are interested or want more information, contact Irene TenEyck at migrantjusticeteam@lacrosseareasynod.org.
