From Faith to Climate Action

Our mission is not merely to speak of creation, but to live the Gospel in ways that heal, renew, and reconcile it. Green ELCSA is our collective call to embody faith through action, ensuring that every parish becomes a beacon of hope for people and the planet.

Our vision

A faith-driven movement within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa that nurtures ecological discipleship, mobilises congregations for climate and energy justice, and transforms communities towards sustainable and dignified livelihoods.

Our mission

To equip and inspire the Church, especially women and youth to live out the Gospel through creation care, just energy transition, and community resilience, reflecting God’s love for all creation.

Our motto

Mark 16.15: “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation.”Our faith compels us to act: proclaiming the Good News not only in words, but through sustainable, justice-driven deeds that restore the integrity of creation.
