Rev. Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, author of Following Jesus in a Warming World, will deliver the keynote address at 11 a.m. Meyaard-Schaap, former Vice President of the Evangelical Environmental Network, will challenge the audience to consider the role of faith in environmental action.
“There is often an unnecessary divide between the church and the environmental movement,” Indy Creation Fest Co-chair Dava Brown said. “We believe it is part of our call as Christians to care for the earth and the most vulnerable among us.”
Indy Creation Fest aims to bridge this gap by fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
“Our vision is to live in a world where contributing to our planet’s well-being is easy for everyone,” Brown said. “We hope Indy Creation Fest inspires people to take action and provides practical ways to get involved, and for more churches to see creation care as part of their mission, becoming leaders in the environmental movement.”
Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate Earth Day weekend with a fun and informative event for the whole family. See full details and vendor information at indycreationfest.org.
