Flourish - Open
Practising generosity and hospitality opens up new possibilities for the natural world to flourish. Living generously encourages us to resist taking more than we need, giving the earth’s resources space to renew. Hospitality can shape how we relate to land, wildlife, and ecosystems, helping us make room for other creatures to live and thrive.

Flourish - Pray
Prayer helps us notice God’s presence around us. Quiet moments outdoors nurture our spiritual lives and draw us closer to the Creator. Forest Church creates room for prayer in natural settings. As we pray for the world and its care, our connection with creation deepens and we are encouraged to embrace a more holistic, embodied faith.

Flourish - Live
Living sustainably sits at the heart of gospel living, encouraging a slower, more intentional rhythm of life that honours the gifts of creation. We aim to encourage and resource Methodists to reduce their carbon footprint and equip advocates for creation care and climate justice.

Flourish - Challenge
Conversations about nature and theology can be shaped by middle-class and largely white perspectives, and this can leave out other vital experiences. Rural communities have deep wisdom to offer, and creating rural solidarity circles can help those insights be heard. People living in poverty often have the lowest carbon footprints and fewer options when it comes to “green” choices. Climate change is a justice issue.

Flourish - Serve
There is a real opportunity for churches to work alongside local environmental groups and to become communities known for their commitment to caring for the earth. New Places for New People (NPNPs) often do this well, including through expressions like Forest Church.

Flourish - Care
Caring for people means paying attention to the pressures they face, from the climate crisis to financial struggles. Creating healthy environments through social prescribing, community projects, and shared initiatives helps nurture long-term well-being. Church gardens and allotments can offer spaces where people grow food together, chat, and find connection.

Flourish - Notice
Our understanding of creation shapes how we respond to environmental concerns. Genesis offers a story of responsibility and care, while Revelation reminds us of the tensions and hopes we hold for the future of the planet. Bible Month resources can support churches in exploring these themes, helping us think about creation care from theological and ethical perspectives.
Give it a go today
Flourish - Learn
As we learn more about our faith, the world, and the climate crisis, we grow in understanding of our calling to care for God’s world. Learning equips us to make faithful, thoughtful choices: to change habits, to speak up for justice, and to live in ways that sustain life. It also helps us appreciate the beauty and vulnerability of the earth.

Flourish - Tell
More people are recognising the connection between environmentalism and evangelism, and are asking how the two relate. Personal salvation is an important part of faith, yet the story of salvation reaches wider, to the whole of creation. This offers another opportunity to join with local environmental groups and help shape communities where ecological care is a clear expression of Christian hope.
Give it a go today
Flourish - Worship
When we worship, we recognise God as the Creator of all life - earth, sky, plants, and animals - and we give thanks for the beauty and wonder of the world around us. Worship doesn’t have to stay indoors. Gathering outside invites us into a way of worship that connects body, spirit, and environment. Caring for creation becomes an act of worship too, as we show love for our non-human neighbours.
