OUR CALLING

God created the earth and deemed it good (Genesis 2:4b-9) and in Christ all things in heaven and on earth were created and are held together (Colossians 1:15-20). As followers of Christ, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and care for God's creation. We share a common responsibility for the stewardship of God's good earth, as a matter of justice, so that it can sustain all species, peoples, and future generations.

​

OUR RESPONSE

Together, we can make a difference. We can engage others in solutions that will create healthy and safe communities for our families, leave a thriving world for future generations, and protect God's creation.
