Making disciples, loving our neighbor, bringing hope to the hungry
Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
Our mission is to connect the whole gospel to the whole of creation – restoring landscapes and lives – helping people grow in Christ while lifting them out of hunger, poverty, and dependency on foreign aid.
Creation stewardship flows from our love for Christ and our neighbors, strengthening our effort to make disciples of all nations.
“If Jesus is Lord of all the earth [Matthew 28:18, Colossians 1:15-16] we cannot separate our relationship to Christ from how we act in relation to the earth. Creation care is thus a gospel issue within the Lordship of Christ.”

Biblical Principles for Creation Stewardship
Why should we care?
A vision for stewarding creation begins with God and his intention for the earth to be a place of abundant provision for his people. We base our work around multiple bibilical principles, including …
Colossians 1:15-16
Christ our Savior is the one who created all things. When we mistreat creation, we mistreat our Savior.
Matthew 22:34-40
Creation care can improve our ability to love our neighbor and fulfill the Great Commandment.
Matthew 28:19-20
It is an important discipleship issue that can help us fulfill the Great Commission.
Genesis 1:26, 2:15,
Matthew 25:14-23
Our dominion over the earth was meant to honor Christ.
Psalms 24:1
The earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord.
Isaiah 58:9-11
God desires that we bring mercy and justice to the poor.
