Our foundation

An Overview of
Sacred Earth Ministry

Sacred Earth Ministry is a voluntary non-governmental, non-profit, evangelistic and humanitarian ministry with a vision to create a community of Christians and other religionists who are sufficiently knowledgeable, concerned with, and committed to taking such actions alongside others in the secular community that guarantee sustainable environmental and economic development.

We believe the central message of SEM — love for God, humans, the material world, and total creation — must be lived out practically through environmental stewardship, advocacy, research, and collaboration.
