Faith in Action: Churches caring for creation
“I deeply value the ongoing role A Rocha has as a catalytic Christian creation care organization.”
“I’m … spearheading the development of a creation care focus for our congregation. A heartfelt thanks to A Rocha for shining a light on [all the] possibilities.”
The Head, Hands, Heart model
The Head, Hands, Heart model combines thoughtful learning, practical action, and worshipful reflection to guide churches in responding to God’s call to care for creation. Ideally, an Earthkeeping Church integrates all three categories into their efforts to care for creation.
Head
Public ArticulationChurches commit to learning about creation care and the natural world, engaging minds with scripture, science, and Indigenous wisdom. This fosters an informed community prepared to act.
Hands
Projects & Actions
Heart
Rhythms & PracticesChurches take steps to integrate creation care into rhythms and practices of worship and congregation life. These actions work to nurture empathy, love, and generosity in your relationships with God, each other, and the Earth.

The A Rocha
Resource Hub
The A Rocha Resource Hub gathers curated materials in a range of languages and formats about the interplay between creation care and the Christian faith.

The Field notes Podcast
The Field notes podcast, hosted by Rick Faw (Education Director, A Rocha Canada) and Jo Swinney (Director of Communications, A Rocha International) is an exploration of the ideas, practice and experience making a difference on the ground, through conversations with people who really know what they are talking about – from conservation scientists, explorers and biologists, to artists, entrepreneurs and theologians.
They have hopeful stories to tell.
