Featured Ministry

Renewal is a Christ-centered, student-led creation care network that focuses on living in right relationship with God. It strives to inspire, connect, and equip students in their stewardship work on Christian college campuses. Together through prayer, service, and action it aims to expand the creation care movement and support the initiatives that are already happening. As followers of Christ, its members seek to follow His example of love by taking care of everything that He so lovingly created--the earth and each other.


Highlights, News & Events

 What is the church’s redemptive role in caring for the health and wholeness (shalom) of not just humanity, but all creation? Englewood Christian Church has invited Fred Bahnson, Martin Price, and Ragan Sutterfield--speakers with rich experiences in sustainable agriculture--to lead a conversation reflecting on this question and related ones about church, place, food, community and agriculture, and we invite you to join us on October 29 and 30 for A Rooted People: Church, Place, and Agriculture in an Urban World. Registration for the conference is now open!

The Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization (ECHO) will hold its 17th annual Agricultural Conference at its headquarters in Ft. Myers, Florida on December 7-9. An educational and networking forum for agricultural practitioners from around the world, the conference will feature morning talks from experts in agricultural management and hunger reduction, and afternoon workshops—at ECHO’s 50-acre farm—on topics ranging from pest control to disaster response and mitigation.
