Awed by the towering mountains and vast bodies of water that surround us here in the Northwest, it’s hard to forget how connected we are to the earth and the vital resources it provides. We believe God has entrusted the earth into our care, and that it’s our duty to protect it for future generations.
Earthcare
EarthCare: it’s in our hands.

Recycling
Keep waste out of the landfill and clutter out of your closet! Our Redeemer’s collects hard-to-recycle items like Styrofoam, electronics, and bikes and parts twice a year. Stay in touch and drop off your recyclables during our Spring and Fall events so your unwanted stuff can be recycled in sustainable ways.
Our Redeemer’s EarthCare team
The EarthCare team meets to care for the Peace Garden in our parking lot, discuss opportunities for advocacy and encourage personal behaviors that help protect the environment. On the Sunday before or after Earth Day, they bring a creation-care emphasis to the congregation. Year-round, the EarthCare team manages collections of recyclable items and organizes other projects that nurture our relationship with the earth. Contact us to learn more.
“Having to use close observation while studying Scientific Illustration and being a gardener, and also trying to explain our natural world to young children, I’ve come to realize just how incredibly awesome God’s creation is—the colors, patterns, the interdependence of all species—it is truly sacred! We are a part of that creation and I believe God has given us the intellect and imagination to be good stewards of this amazing world.”
