First and foremost, faith is at the heart of our work. As people of faith, we are called to act on climate and care for our common home. EJC initiatives encourage congregations, clergy, and communities to be aware and able to articulate the moral dimensions of climate change and environmental justice issues from a faith perspective based in love.
Creation Care is the commitment to be stewards of God’s creation.
