Global Ministries seeks U.S.-based United Methodists to lead grassroots environmental projects that are action-oriented, antiracist, bold and entrepreneurial. 

Global Ministries EarthKeepers is a training program that equips laity and clergy to launch and grow environmental projects in their communities. Topics include eco-theology, antiracism, community organizing, and project planning. All participants plan a project during the training. 

This fall, October 5-8, 2023, will be the first in-person Global Ministries EarthKeepers training since the pandemic, held in three locations: Birmingham Alabama, Denver Colorado, and Hartford Connecticut. The cost of the program is underwritten by Global Ministries (except your transportation to the location).
