Mygration Christian Conference is excited to host its 8th annual gathering on August 28–29, 2026, at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL!
Chicago has long been a city shaped by migration — from immigrant neighborhoods and faith communities to ongoing struggles for justice, belonging, and dignity. Over the past year, as immigrant families and communities have faced the heightened reality of ICE enforcement, churches have been called to respond with courage, compassion, and faithful public witness.
In this urgent cultural moment, we are gathering in Chicago to equip Christian leaders to respond prophetically, stand firmly with our immigrant neighbors, and mobilize the body of Christ into redemptive action.
Join us this summer as we learn from pastors, scholars, organizers, and community leaders about what faithful advocacy looks like in a city where immigration is not an abstract issue, but a lived reality for families, churches, and communities across the region.
We hope you will join us for this special gathering in Chicago. Register today!
This year's conference is hosted in partnership with Chasing Justice and El Centro for the Study of Latinx Theology & Ministry at McCormick Theological Seminary.
We also look forward to partnering with other faith-based organizations in Chicago to amplify local voices and showcase the important work happening across the city. Contact us if you'd like to join us and add your organization name below:
