Online Global Ministries EarthKeepers Training Coming in March
On November 20, 2016, Global Ministries commissioned our very first EarthKeepers. In these seven years we have offered 17 trainings in-person and online, resulting in 324 United Methodist laity and clergy across the country becoming Global Ministries EarthKeepers. From projects focused on water and air quality to energy efficiency and renewable energy, from recycling to food security and ecosystem health, from anti-racism to spiritual growth and so much more, we are making a huge collective difference in creation care and justice all across the United States of America.
How can you be part of this movement? Bring your idea for a grassroots project to connect your Christian faith with creation care and/or justice issues. We offer theology, project planning, networking, support, and more to help your idea become reality. Applications are due by February 1, 2024. Learning begins mid-February with live Zoom sessions between March 1–16, 2024. Find all the details and application at https://umcmission.org/earthkeepers or email environment@umcmission.org.
