Environmental Justice
God calls us to be careful stewards of the the earth and to protect it for its own sake and for future generations.
Environmental Justice
We believe that peace and justice is God's plan for all creation. The Environmental Justice Team is part of UCP's Justice & Peace Ministry Team. Our Environmental Justice Team and congregation is dedicated to advocating for God's planet so that all of God's children can equally share in the goodness of Creation. If you are interested in getting involved with our Environmental Justice Team, contact Kristy Pullen, co-chair of the Justice & Peace Ministry Team.
