Join Creation Care Alliance WNC at the 2026 Symposium May 1st and 2nd at Montreat Conference Center as we reflect on Hurricane Helene, the faith-filled response that followed, and the renewed call to climate resilience and disaster recovery. Together, we’ll explore how communities of faith are reshaping their ministries and strengthening their role in the wider community. 

In addition to recovery and resilience, this Symposium will also provide a number of creation care activities to experience and share back home including an Awe/Wonder Walk, a Reclaiming the River Ritual, and an interfaith Earth Sunday Vigil

Workshop topics will include:

–Considering Going Solar?

–Planting a Pollinator, Butterfly, or Vegetable Garden on Your Campus

–Congregational Disaster Preparedness and Resilience-Building

–Climate Justice Advocacy – Rev. Susannah Tuttle, Director, Eco-Justice Connection of the NC Council of Churches

–Green Burials – Author and Professor Mallory McDuff of Warren Wilson College

Come with an open heart and mind. Leave with ideas, connections, and actions that strengthen creation care ministries and foster partnerships with climate-connected faith communities.
