How Can You Help Your Church Engage With Creation? Webinar

Starting date

SIGN UP

What might it look like for your church to actively care for God’s creation - not just in theory, but in everyday practice?

Hosted by the IBTS, this interactive 90-minute webinar invites church leaders and members to explore how creation care is part of the gospel and how it can be lived out in local church life.

As part of the Creation Care and the Gospel theme, this session blends theological reflection with real-world stories and practical tools you can start using straight away.

We’re delighted to welcome contributors from A Rocha Netherlands and the UK's Baptist Union Environment Network, who will share inspiring examples of churches engaging with their communities through initiatives such as Eco Church, Forest Church, and seasonal creation-focused projects.

Expect an interactive session with discussion, Q&A, and a short creative video reflection - all designed to leave you inspired, encouraged, and equipped with ideas you can adapt in your own context.
