This page explores the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s understanding of sanctuary as a ministry rooted in Scripture and historic practices of protection and hospitality. It explains how church communities have offered safe space—and continue to stand in solidarity—with immigrants facing deportation and family separation, while also outlining important considerations and responsibilities for both individuals seeking sanctuary and congregations discerning participation. The page highlights historical examples, theological grounding, guidance for discernment, and resources for congregations and coalitions engaged in accompaniment, advocacy, and support for vulnerable neighbors.https://pcusa.org/about-pcusa/agencies-entities/interim-unified-agency/ministry-areas/immigration-issues/sanctuary
