# Lutherans Restoring Creation

> Lutherans Restoring Creation (LRC) is a grassroots network of Lutheran congregations and individuals, rooted in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), practicing creation care. We cultivate, connect, and celebrate a community of Lutherans who grow hope and healing with all Creation. The site offers worship resources, real congregation stories, a step-by-step organizing kit, and practical ways for congregations to act on climate.

Everything on this site is free for any congregation to use and adapt.
