Environmental Stewardship Seminars
Creation Care and God's Redemptive Plan
Pollution, deforestation, erosion, global warming – there is something fundamentally wrong with the way we human beings are living in God’s creation. Join us as we seek to understand the world God created and the environmental crisis as a spiritual crisis, and discover the restoration of Creation as the center of God’s redemptive plan.
Creation Care on Your Campus: How to Begin
We are facing planet-sized challenges. Climate change and environmental crises can seem immobilizing, and we can fall into the temptation of thinking that our efforts don’t really matter. But it’s not just about what we do as isolated individuals. It’s about what we do when we mobilize together as a movement and combine for community action. Come explore how to begin environmental transformation on your campus.
Creation Stewardship and Missions
Join us to learn how discipleship into a biblical worldview on environmental stewardship can bring transformation to both people and the land that sustains them. We will examine the urgent environmental crisis in Africa, the need for a Christ-exalting response, and we’ll discuss how one evangelical environmental missions organization is working to bring people both hope for eternity and hope for today.
Global Warming: Voices from the South Pacific
Join us as we discuss the effects of global warming in the South Pacific.

Missions Meets Climate Change
Global climate change represents the greatest opportunity in our generation for reaching least-reached people groups with the gospel. Hear how environmental missions in the poorest countries of the world, through climate adaptation efforts, can open closed borders and closed hearts with the love of Christ.
Mobilizing Your Church for Creation Care
Creation care should be more than a minority ministry for a few ‘green Christians’ in each congregation. Psalm 84 says “even the sparrow has found a home…near your altar, O God” – and every church has the potential to be a force for the gospel and a refuge for God’s creatures. Find out how ‘mobilizing the church’ can transform every aspect of church ministry from worship to evangelism.
Organizing Faith Communities for Environmental Justice
Join us as we discuss two approaches for organizing faith communities for environmental justice. Through the collaboration of faith communities and grassroots environmental agencies, we hope to disciple leaders who are committed to raising awareness and pressing for environmental protection.

The Green Gospel: Christians Caring for Creation
Secular environmental books are built off the foundation that we are facing an environmental crisis. While we do not dispute the reality of this crisis, the foundation for Christians is that our God is the Creator and we are called to be stewards of His creation. We must take a step beyond explaining why Christians should care for creation, and also show them how to do it in caring for creation at home, with their trash, transportation, and much more.

The Perfect Storm: Earth 2009
The sons of Adam and daughters of Eve give the Creator a report on their stewardship: what happens when population, prosperity, and poverty mixes with water, soil, bio-diversity and climate. To all the issues, we’ll seek to add a “human face”—Christ’s beloved.
