The United Methodist Committee on Relief established the ILJ Network as an immigration ministry of the United Methodist Church in 1999. We are proud of the deep history and solidarity we share with the Northern Illinois Conference of the UMC. Rooted in the United Methodist Church and moved by our faith to welcome immigrants, we are a non-profit organization that welcomes people of all backgrounds and faiths.
