National Faith + Climate Forum
April 16, 2024
12:00 pm – 5:15 pm ET | 9:00 am – 2:15 pm PT

This event is streamed live, showcasing national faith leaders. It offers local, in-person watch parties and engagement opportunities. We warmly invite all individuals of faith to participate.

If you believe in the moral responsibility to care for creation for the sake of our faith, our congregations, our families, communities, and future generations, join the National Faith + Climate Forum on April 16, 2024! Changes in our climate are increasingly impacting congregations, and clergy and lay leaders, like you, are searching for ways to be part of the solution. Deepen your understanding on how to engage your congregation in creation care, work toward just and equitable solutions, and connect with other faith leaders locally and nationally.

You can attend at a designated local host location or participate live online.

Why Join

This transformative experience will empower you to take meaningful and actionable steps toward caring for creation and implement just and equitable solutions in your congregation. Whether you are just getting started or have been engaging in climate for some time, this event is for you. The forum will:

1. Empower You: The forum will equip and support clergy members and faith leaders with the knowledge and resources to effectively integrate creation care into your preaching, teaching, and pastoral work.
2. Inspire Your Congregation: Explore practical ways to engage your congregation in creation care through denominational and faith and climate programs, such as the One Home One Future Campaign, and Blessed Tomorrow.
3. Connect With a Vibrant Faith + Climate Community: Join interactive sessions where you’ll have the unique opportunity to network with other local and national faith-based leaders who are passionate about advancing faith and climate work.
4. Strengthen Your Congregation’s Collaboration: Attend in-person at host locations across the US to foster a deep sense of unity and shared purpose, and galvanize local-level collaboration in your community.

In an era marked by unprecedented challenges, the intersection of faith and climate has emerged as a powerful and inclusive force for progress.

What to Expect

By infusing the forum with purposeful discussions, practical workshops, and opportunities to engage (see draft agenda here), we will lay the groundwork for lasting progress that resonates within our faith communities and reverberates throughout our congregations and the world. You will carry forward renewed purpose and direction for creation care – fortified by faith – along with determination to preserve our given home for generations to come.

Participation is flexible! Attend in person across the US at designated host locations with other faith leaders, or live online.
