Ministry Teams

Caring for Creation Ministry Team

The mission of this team is to foster environmental awareness and to promote justice and responsible behavior in caring for God's creation. The Regeneration Project and the Interfaith Power and Light (IPL) campaign is an interfaith ministry devoted to deepening the connection between ecology and faith. Their goal is to help people of faith recognize and fulfill their responsibility for the stewardship of creation. Specifically, the IPL campaign is mobilizing a national religious response to global warming while promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation. People of faith have an opportunity to put their faith into action and help reduce the devastating effects of global warming.
