Climate Justice & Faith

As United Methodists, we heed the call to do all in our power to care for planet Earth. In the Genesis 1 Creation narrative, God instructs human beings to care for the earth and all God created to dwell there.

“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants too.” – Psalm 24:1
We occasionally sponsor tours of the Buncombe County Landfill. Let us know if you are interested in a future tour by checking the box below.
