Welcome!

Mennonite Creation Care Network (MCCN) is a bi-national Christian organization affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA and the Mennonite Church Canada. We are especially interested in working with Mennonite congregations, but we also have hopes for households, schools, agencies and the workplaces and neighborhoods that our members inhabit. Our vision includes:

  • Congregations that grasp God's love for all the earth.
  • Households where decision-makers routinely consider environmental impacts. 
  • Schools, where students of all ages learn to connect with the natural world.
  • Church agencies that choose advocates to keep creation care prominent.
  • Workplaces and communities shaped by creative approaches to transportation, housing, food, waste disposal.

We welcome anyone who wishes to be part of a faith-based network of people engaged in caring for creation. Join us!

Introducing MennoFarm

Seminary and farming—not two words that are usually paired together. For Krista Showalter Ehst and LauraBeth Jones, however, farming has been on the brain since they graduated from Candler School of Theology in May of 2012. The intersections of faith, religious education, ecological systems, and farming practices undergird their vision for a new program—MennoFarm.
