Mission Statement

We acknowledge that peace, justice and care for the whole earth is God's plan for all creation in that our world has finite resources. As God offers all people the special gift of peace through Jesus Christ, we are called to deal justly with one another and the earth, for there is no peace without justice.

As stewards of the earth, we are called to be a caring people, living in harmony with the environment, respecting and honoring the gifts of God's creation with gratitude for all that we have received.

Knowing that future generations depend upon us, we seek opportunities to make a significant impact and difference on social and environmental issues in the home, church, community, state and world through education, worship, and specific projects.Our goal is to bring you easy to find information on how you as one person or one family can impact the earth.
