Creation Care
Creation Care
Learn to love God’s good world like he does, and help make it more beautiful.
What does caring for the Earth have to do with following Jesus?
Often when we think about the gospel, we only think about what it means for individual people and their souls. But the good news is good for the whole world, and we can be part of God’s redemption for all of his creation. So much of human well-being relies on the health of land, animals, and the quality of food. So we’ve come up with some practices to help you get in touch with God’s good world and become a better steward of our home.
