Our
Covenant
Pilgrim Church
accepts God's call to become an Earth Church. This covenantal relationship is
in keeping with God's declaration to establish a bond of commitment and
responsibility with every part of Creation (Genesis 9). We seek to be as
inclusive as God's love in our circle of caring.
We commit ourselves to practice conscientious, consistent, and faithful stewardship of the
Earth and all its inhabitants.
Pilgrim Church pledges to develop sustainable practices, modeling to the world around us a
responsible, green approach in all areas of our life together. God's evolving
creation is intricately interrelated. Its intertwinings involve us, both as
participants and as stewards. Within this creation God shows us the way to live
sustainably.
Pilgrim Church celebrates the beauty and resourcefulness of the Earth. We dedicate ourselves to
loving, faithful action on behalf of all creation.
We intend to be comprehensive by transforming our minds through education, our spirits through
worship, our hearts and hands through sustainable practices, our resources
through intentional planning, and our consciousness through
discipleship.
Justice, Stewardship, Sustainability and Sufficiency: we lift up these faith principles
within our ministry to protect God's world.
We establish this covenant with our Creator God and with each other as a community of faith.
Pilgrim Church hereby declares itself to be an Earth Church.
