In April 2026, Creation Justice Ministries' Director of Theological Education and Formation Derrick Weston preached at Riverside Church in New York City. Opening by talking about the Church's -- and our individual role -- in the climate crisis, Derrick reminds us that we have a moral responsibility to take action. A big part of this responsibility is listening to the stories of the communities on the front lines and continuing to fight for the planet, even if your own government does not.

In April 2026, Creation Justice Ministries' Executive Director Avery Davis Lamb preached at Binkley Baptist Church in North Carolina. Join us in listening to his powerful words about his own experiences with trees, how redlining has impacted tree access and communities, and the dangers that come when there are not enough trees to shade a community. Thankfully, there is an easy solution: plant more trees.Through our tree equity projects, Creation Justice Ministries partners with congregations, national and local faith-based organizations, technical experts, and local governments to plant trees, reduce urban heat, and address environmental injustices in disadvantaged communities.

In May 2026, Creation Justice Ministries' Executive Director Avery Davis Lamb preached at Royal Lane Baptist Church in Dallas, TX for Pentecost Sunday. Drawing on fire ecology, regenerative agriculture, and Acts 2, this sermon explores the fire of the Holy Spirit as a regenerative fire: a fire that disrupts monoculture, cultivates diversity, and restores creation’s capacity for life. In a time of ecological crisis, Pentecost reminds us that God’s dream is still a world where all of creation thrives.
