Creation Care — Interserve Te Riu Whakaoreore

Creation Care

Caring for all God has made

God reveals His very self through creation. Creation Care is essential to the gospel story — and New Zealand leads this work internationally.

We participate with God’s overarching work to redeem all that He has made. As with all aspects of our wholistic ministry, the Holy Spirit uses Creation Care to point people to Jesus.

Because of the significant emphasis New Zealand places on the environment, placements in Creation Care are a high priority for our fellowship, with New Zealand leading this work on an international level.

Interserve is a global community of disciples of Jesus Christ who share the calling to join God’s redeeming and reconciling work in all of creation.
