...."The Stewardship of Creation Ministry Team (SCMT) for the Presbytery of West Virginia is actively involved in educating and resourcing the faith community in West Virginia.  Members of the team include the Stewardship of Creation Enablers and other Presbyterians, who share concerns for caring for God's creation.  To join the SCMT please contact one of the Stewardship of Creation Enablers."
 

Stewardship of Creation Enablers are called to serve presbyteries as educators, motivators, and facilitators of action to protect God’s Creation. They are to assist congregations and other groups within the church to gain the knowledge and skills to sustain long-term, spiritually vital commitment to God’s Creation. They are to facilitate engagement by congregations and committed church members with other groups in their own communities and around the world seeking to address immediate environmental problems and to find long-term solutions. As enablers of others, they will be an important conduit for the national staff team, as well as local, regional or national ecumenical environmental ministries, to resource, alert and mobilize Presbyterians on behalf of God’s Creation. They will also strengthen the outreach by presbytery committees to congregations and enhance communications between congregations and among individual Presbyterians.

 

West Virginia’s Co-Enablers are:
