Seeking to fulfill our Creator's greatest commandments for the flourishing of all peoples, creation, and communities in Christ.
Mark 16:15
“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
This goal is based on what Jesus said was the Greatest Commandment & Commission in the Bible*
We believe that creation care, motivated by a right relationship with our Creator/Christ, is the most practical demonstration of our love for God, our neighbors, and a means toward making disciples among all peoples.
“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.”
