NHCLC in partnership with Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and The Evangelical Environmental Network

CORE's Mission:

CORE seeks to establish, in practice, the inalienable right for all people to determine their own destiny--to decide for themselves what social and political organizations can operate in their best interest and to do so without gratuitous and inhibiting influence from those whose interest is diametrically opposed to theirs. CORE feels that the most important fundamental freedom for all people is the right to govern themselves. Once this simple ideal is realized, other necessary freedoms will automatically follow.

In essence, CORE's aim is to bring about equality for all people regardless of race, creed, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or ethnic background. In pursuing its aim, CORE seeks to identify and expose acts of discrimination in the public and private sectors of society. When such an act is uncovered, CORE, with its many multi-service departments, goes into action.

The Evangelical Environmental Network is a fellowship of believers who . . .

Declare the Lordship of Christ over all creation. He is the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created. All things were created by him and [ Church bells ] for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:15b; 16a, c; 17)

These believers. . .

Deepen their walk with the Lord and the life of their churches through joy-filled worship, Bible study on the topics of creation's care, and prayer that God's will "be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).

Show the compassion of Christ for people who suffer from creation's destruction (Proverbs 14:31).

Demolish strongholds of sin that tarnish the glory and integrity of God's good creation (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Build our Lord's kingdom by active service to restore and renew the works of his hands (Matthew 6:33; Ephesians 2:10).

Share the Gospel with those who do not know that Jesus Christ is the ultimate Hope for creation groaning under our sin and the only Hope for our own souls (Romans 8:19-21; Colossians 1:20, 27).
