Protect Creation and Our Sacred Public Lands
As Christians, we are called to heal and protect creation. Yet today, our nation's public lands – places of deep ecological, spiritual, and cultural​
significance –  are at risk of harmful extraction that would have devastating impacts on the local ecosystems and communities.  Friends of the fossil fuel industry are working undermine bedrock environmental protections that safeguard vital wildlife habitats and sacred Indigenous sites. ​

Protect Funding for
Clean Energy ​Projects
As followers of Christ, we believe budgets are moral documents, as they demonstrate what we care about and what we are willing to invest in as a country. Right now, Congress is preparing the federal budget for the next fiscal year. As communities across the country experience increased flooding, fires, and drought –  investing clean energy is imperative to address the urgency of the climate crisis.

Why We Take Action for God's Creation

Living out our faith goes beyond individual actions, our own households, or our own churches. We are called to follow the example of Jesus and the prophets--to be courageous in proactively shaping our communities and our world to better align with our faith values.
​
In the United States, we have a democratic system that requires active input from people of faith and good conscience. A healthy democracy requires people to be educated, organized, and engaged at every level. Creation Justice Ministries specializes in helping Christian communities to engage at the federal level of US government.

How We Take Action for God's Creation

Testify at Public Hearings
When public policy decisions are being made, there is often an opportunity to make your opinion heard in a public hearing.
Creation Justice Ministries sometimes helps faith leaders prepare testimonies to federal agencies, but this is an important practice to engage at city, county, and state levels also.
Check out Creation Justice Ministries' guide to preparing testimony for a public hearing. In the picture, a young leader testifies before the Environmental Protection Agency about air pollution standards.

Organize Your Community
Where two or three are gathered, God is among us, and nothing is impossible. Planning educational events, prayer services, vigils, community forums, listening sessions, and town hall meetings make a difference. Consider getting your faith community involved in Earth Day Sunday, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, or the Season of Creation. Let Creation Justice Ministries know your plans at [email protected]

Get Published
Efforts to care for God's creation are news-worthy. Write your opinion in the comments section of online articles, or formally respond to an article with a letter to the editor. Be an opinion leader by drafting a blog post or an opinion editorial to a local newspaper. Let Creation Justice Ministries know if you get published by emailing us at [email protected].
