We are called to be a caring people.  God has placed the earth and its creatures in our hands not to use and destroy, but to respect, honor, and care for, as we would a a great Artist's masterpiece.

We strive to carry out our commitment to care for God's creation through:

• Worship services
• Education
• Church operation
• Community outreach
• Interfaith outreach

We are in covenant with Earth Ministry to know God more fully through deepening relationships with God's creation.  We thoughtfully strive to make our congregation a care-for-creation model for ourselves, our families, and our community.

We have converted many of our lights to energy-saving compact-fluorescent bulbs, and we recycle office paper.  The coffee that we serve is organic, shade-grown, fair-trade coffee from Grounds for Change.  We have a worm bin in our backyard, full of hungry worms ready to turn fruit and vegetable scraps into great compost!

In addition to our Earth Ministry colleagues, others sharing our mission of stewardship for the earth include the National Religious Partnership for the Environment, the National Council of Churches' Eco-Justice Program, and -- locally -- Stillwaters Environmental Center, the Great Peninsula Conservancy, and Kitsap Audubon
