God has entrusted humankind with the responsibility to be stewards of creation, to care and share, to touch the earth with gentleness and with love, to respect all living things and to responsibly use the resources generously given to us.
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (Genesis 2:15)
On a daily basis our lives are defined by the choices we make. Stewardship of creation relates to how we, as Christians, choose to use the gifts God has bestowed on us in furthering His mission in this world. We become faithful stewards when we acknowledge God’s creation and the abundance of His gifts and respond with a determination to care for creation.
