Our Mission

The Creation Care Alliance is MountainTrue’s faith-based program bringing people of all faith traditions together across the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains to care for nature and our neighbors.

What We Do

Through education, service, and advocacy, the Creation Care Alliance (CCA) empowers congregations and people of faith to live out their spiritual call to love creation and seek ecological justice.

Grounded in love and fueled by hope, the Creation Care Alliance has built a growing network of congregations and faith leaders who are putting their values into action — from prayer vigils and community forums to hands-on service projects and advocacy for systemic change.

What Covenant Partnership Means

None of us can create meaningful change alone. Covenant partnership is a symbiotic relationship between your faith community and the Creation Care Alliance. Join the more than 20 houses of worship to build a more beautiful, sustainable, and just world. Creation Care Alliance Covenant partners are committed to growing their creation care ministries, and we are committed to helping them succeed.

We work together and support each other.

Covenant partners are aligned with our mission to love our human and non-human neighbors and work toward their thriving as an expression of our faith and spirituality.

Benefits of Covenant Partnership

What Covenant Partnership Means

Covenant partners support our efforts through an annual donation on a sliding scale of $100 – $1000.
