Q & A: What in the World Does Creation Hope Do?
Apr 16th
Q & A: a series which answers your questions about all aspects of creation care and the work of Creation Hope.
Question: I know about your blog, but what in the world does Creation Hope actually do?
Answer:
We have noticed that some of our followers who were introduced to Creation Hope via the blog, Facebook, or Twitter have had at times misunderstood what Creation Hope actually does. So, we are glad for the opportunity to clear that up a bit.
While the blog is a key part of our ministry, Creation Hope offers much more than the blog interactions. In fact, there are a variety of services which we offer to you, your church, or your organization to help you better care for God’s creation. Our goal is to help you understand how and why to care for creation and to help mobilize you into action. At the same time we seek to highlight the great hope that we have as Christians through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ.
So, how do we do this? Though we offer a variety of services, let me just point out two core things we do:
1. Speaking & Seminars. In addition to informing and mobilizing via the blog, we also offer to come speak to or hold a seminar for your church, organization, school, ministry, Bible study, etc. We will work with you to determine the best format for your context. Furthermore, we do not charge for these services (although we ask that you cover any travel or printing expenses).
2. Consulting Services. Creation Hope will help your church or organization to develop and execute a plan to better care for God’s creation. We will assess your context, help you develop a comprehensive plan of action which outlines how your group can better care for creation (via its facilities, message, ministries, etc), and will encourage and assist you along the way. Again, aside from travel expenses, Creation Hope offers this service at no charge.
You might be wondering why we do not charge for these services. Simply put: our mission is to serve you. We do not want any barriers, such as limited budgets, to prevent you from fulfilling your call to care for God’s creation. God has called us to serve you, your church, and your organization. We believe that so strongly that we trust that He will bring along the necessary donors to support that calling.
We hope this helps you to understand what our ministry does. Still want to know more? Please check out the What We Do page of our website. Or feel free to contact us anytime to discuss how we can serve you.

Welcome to the Creation Hope Blog
Jan 19th
Welcome to the Creation Hope blog. We are glad you have decided to join us on our journey to better care for God’s creation while embracing the hope we have through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ.
Our goal here is to form a community of people who will together discover how we can be green. We hope to journey together and help each other out. We seek to motivate, equip, and lead Christians to participate in God’s redemption of creation.
Why should you read our blog when there are numerous green blogs out there? Well… 1. we are Christians and approach the topic from a biblical perspective; 2. we try to eliminate or clearly define any jargon that leaves a lot of us saying, “HUHHH;” 3. whereas most approach this topic with a fear of destruction, we approach it with hope.
It is this last point that we feel makes us especially unique. Even many Christians approach this important topic out of reaction to the degradation of the earth or merely in response to biblical commands. We both accept the science they react to and embrace the commands they seek to fulfill. So, how are we different? The difference is this: we believe that there is good news for Christians. God is already at work restoring His creation and calls us to participate in that. We know that one day God will transform His creation fully and we will be with Him. We focus, first and foremost, on that hope that comes from Him. That doesn’t diminish our role. But it does give us an incredible hope.
Join us as we endeavor to live and work in light of this creation hope.
