Care for Creation

Our Mission

The Care for Creation Network is called to make peace between people and the rest of God’s creation. In partnership with the congregations of the Northeastern Iowa Synod, we:

  • Affirm that care for creation is central to the life of God’s people.
  • Encourage worship that celebrates God’s creation.
  • Advocate education promoting understanding and stewardship of God’s earth.
  • Practice good earth citizenship.
  • Model disciplined and fruitful community lifestyle.
