RENEW Gatherings

A community of practice where advocates get rejuvenated, be empowered, and co-create the future.

About the Gatherings

The RENEW Gatherings bring creation care advocates from churches on RENEW together three times a year. At each RG, we cultivate community, grow capacity, and facilitate co-creation.

Every advocate carries God’s call differently — some lead ground-up initiatives, others work alongside pastors and lead committees. The Gatherings exist to hold that diversity together: a rhythm of relationship-building, spiritual formation, and shared work that keeps advocates from labouring alone.

Whether you’re just starting out or years into advocating for creation care in your church, the RENEW Gatherings meet you where you are and carry you forward with others doing the same.
