The Park Church - A Climate Justice Congregation
As a Climate Justice Congregation, we seek to respect God’s creation by focusing on the connection between climate change, planetary health, and human rights. We live our faith by caring for those impacted most by climate change. We commit to care for the earth, to grow closer to our natural world, and to encourage personal and shared engagement by our church.***
