About Us

We are tackling climate change and building resilience in the communities most vulnerable to its effects.

Our Story

We are passionate about helping people to learn, pray, and take climate action while supporting our global neighbors to adapt to the consequences of climate change. In 2020 we merged with Climate Caretakers, a distinctly Christian prayer and action project to raise awareness of the climate crisis. Climate Stewards USA is a part of A Rocha USA.

We walk step-by-step with organizations that want to faithfully steward God’s creation. To date, we have helped over 50 organizations and thousands of individuals understand their carbon emissions impact and lower it year after year.
