About Us

Lutherans Restoring Creation is a grassroots community of Lutherans caring for God’s good Earth. We’ve been at this together since 2009, and today we are an independent nonprofit that walks alongside the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We envision sustained, faith-fueled flourishing as part of Creation. Our congregations work on climate solutions in their own communities — from worship and education to buildings and advocacy.

“We cultivate, connect, and celebrate a grassroots community of Lutherans who grow hope and healing with all Creation.”
