WHAT IS OUTDOOR MINISTRY?

​

Our outdoor ministry committee meets monthly to plan summer camp and other outings. Whether it’s kayaking on the Chicago River, birdwatching in Jackson Park, or meditating in a forest preserve, we aim to host creation encounters that are meaningful, accessible and renewing for our congregants.


We recognize that, as God’s creatures, we have been placed into a wide and glorious world in which we can find inspiration for our work, spiritual and emotional restoration, and a renewed sense of connection with all of God’s creation. Further, we seek to hear anew the challenge of Genesis 1 to understand dominion as stewardship and so to engage in ministries of creation care.
