CreationCall

CreationCall is a ChristCentral Initiative, focusing on our God-given responsibility to be good stewards of the earth that God created. Recognising that we live in a growing crisis of climate change and ecological breakdown, we want to encourage and support our churches to make faithful responses in their own situations, as part of our worship to God.

What we do:

We provide:

1. A website, with extensive resources and stories of environmental engagement from our churches.
2. Occasional conferences and training events.
3. Opportunity for discussion and support – please contact us by email (link to email address)

What we don’t do:

We don’t prescribe what we should all do but rather offer encouragement, support, and inspiration for churches to respond appropriately in their own situation.

We don’t want to “reinvent the wheel.” Many others have been on this journey longer than we have. We respect their work by presenting their excellent resources that we have found helpful, and value working in partnership.

We don’t campaign on specific issues, though we encourage individuals who feel called in this way to get involved.

"I’m very excited about CreationCall - a ChristCentral apostolic initiative - encouraging us all in our responsibility towards caring for the environment. At the very beginning of creation, God’s commission was for us “to take care” of the earth and in so doing, bring His Kingdom reign to this truly beautiful planet! Even in a fallen world, we are daily to live this out and, in so doing, prophetically look forward to the day when He will make all things new!"

Jeremy Simpkins - ChristCentral Team Leader

We base our work on three foundations:

1. Theology: the Bible shows a world created ‘very good’ by God, with humans made ‘in the image of God’s to care for it, and with a hope of ultimate restoration in Christ.
2. Science: through human actions, environmental degradation and climate change now threaten our ability to sustain life on the earth in the long term.
3. Justice: the effects of environmental degradation and climate change already have a disproportionate effect on the world’s poor.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel by unpacking these large topics here, we have a range of resources (Foundational Resources) that fill out the details. 

For resources for practical action, see our Partner Organisations Page, which includes resources that various organisations have produced.
