Wild Church

A wild church is a congregation that worships outdoors in nature, connecting with the natural world and its creatures. Wild churches are ecumenical and can be spiritual but not religious. They are a way to deepen relationships with nature and the beings that live in it.

• Wild churches meet outdoors, sometimes even in winter
• They believe that the natural world is a source of divine revelation.
• They encourage people to form relationships with the sacred landscapes, plants, and creatures that live there.
• They invite the natural world to participate in their liturgies.
• They encourage people to live with compassion, care, and gratitude for all living beings.

Wild Church seeks:

• To heal the rift between nature and spirit
• To restore a sacred relationship with the natural world
• To awaken love for self, earth, and all living beings
• To inspire people to act for justice for all beings
