We need your help today
Last year, Sustainable Sanctuary presented programs to over 400 congregation leaders and members AND helped over 60 congregations to deepen their efforts on behalf of the Earth.
But our work is far from done, and we couldn't do any of it without the financial support of people like you who love the planet.
Please make a donation today. It's easy--just click here:
Thank you so much!
PS: Now is the perfect time to donate
because every dollar you give will be matched by the Shumaker Family Foundation.

Lee's Summit Christian Church is Committed to Earth-care.

While their Green Team has only been in place for about two years, the ministry's commitment to taking care of the planet goes back at least 15-years. The message starts at the pulpit where the importance of being good stewards for God's creation is intertwined into many sermons.
