Plant budding out of the earth

The United Church has worked on ecological issues for more than 40 years. Our faith calls us to live with respect in creation. We are concerned that climate change, ocean change, lack of access to clean water, and resource extraction have a greater impact on the most impoverished and vulnerable living beings.
