Our Mission

To focus the Gulf Coast community’s moral attention on our ecological crisis and to mobilize all people toward bold and just action.

We are an organization based on volunteerism and a consensus process for decision-making, that works collaboratively to provide a place for those in our community for whom faith and environment are intimately braided.  As people of faith, we are called to be caretakers of God’s incredible creation and treat it with the reverence and respect we would naturally give to something we consider to be divine handiwork.

All faiths encourage their followers to love their neighbors and care for the least among them. We invite you to join us in this transformational work for a just, equitable, and healthy environment for all communities, particularly those most at risk and least able to protect themselves in our world.

What We Hope to Achieve

• Educate and empower people to address the complex issues surrounding climate change. Because the issues are complicated, once people are informed by local experts and can speak with the courage of their moral convictions, they will be equipped and motivated to address policymakers about changes they consider critical.

• Challenge people to live with integrity, such that the beliefs they profess guide the actions they take.

• Provide people with a vision of what life on this planet could be, and then challenge them to overcome the human tendency to seek out convenience and the relentless pursuit of growth.

• Move people from the model in which they understand humans to function as individuals, to where they see humans as relational to and dependent upon the rest of creation. We plan to form a community of informed members who respond to local      environmental threats based on their understanding of themselves as a part of the great web of life that is God's creation.

• Form a prophetic community that will be able to engage decision makers with ideas to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
