Earth Care Ministry: Environmental Justice

Earth Care Ministry: Environmental Justice

“God calls us to be stewards of creation.”

At Saint Mark AME Zion, our Earth Care Ministry is rooted in faith and action. We believe caring for the environment is not only a responsibility, but a sacred calling. Through education, service, and advocacy, we work to protect God’s creation and uplift the communities most impacted by environmental harm.

Environmental justice is about more than protecting the earth, it’s about ensuring that all God’s children, especially those in vulnerable communities, have access to clean air, safe water, and a healthy future.

Join us as we live out our faith by caring for creation. Whether you volunteer at a cleanup, attend a workshop, or advocate for environmental justice, your presence and passion make a difference.

Together, we can honor God by protecting His creation and building a more just and sustainable world.
