Abstract
The churches in Batam have a vocation to serve female migrants who work as operators in a number of factories in Batam. Female migrant workers face the problem of their status as contract workers and limited work skills. The churches in Batam have not paid attention to services to migrant workers in Batam, including non-formal education services for female migrant workers. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how churches in Batam serve female migrant workers in Batam, provide non-formal education services, face obstacles in service and the church's efforts to overcome obstacles. This study uses a multi-case qualitative method in three churches in Batam, namely Protestant Church in the Western Part of Indonesia Immanuel Batam Congregation, Simalungun Protestant Christian Church Congregation Batam, and Karo Batak Protestant Church Congregation Batu Aji Batam. The results showed that the three churches did not have any attention to the services of female migrant workers and did not have a special program for non-formal education of female migrant workers. This study recommends that there is a need for an ecumenical joint effort with churches in Batam to develop educational services for female migrant workers in Batam.
