In a time of growing social-ecological challenges, we have too often neglected our biblical calling to care for creation. Christians are the largest faith community in the U.S., but we are also known as being among the least supportive of environmental action.

For the past forty years, A Rocha organizations have been pioneering faith-based conservation projects around the world. We’re all about DOING creation care, and our hands-on initiatives are motivated by our Christian faith, guided by rigorous science and theology, and rooted in our diverse communities.

And now that work is coming to New York City! The Churches of Restoration (CoR) program helps churches integrate care for God’s creation more deeply into congregational life. During a year-long cohort experience, participants will learn from A Rocha, experts, and each other as they engage in meaningful earthkeeping in their congregational context. Our kickoff retreat is on October 3 with monthly gatherings to follow that will spark and sustain formation and practice yielding tangible fruit in ourselves and our ecology.
