Creation Ministries at Dinner Bell Farm
Our Purpose
Your Host and Co-Creator
Our purpose is to provide
eco experiences, educational events, camps and retreats,
rooted in our Christian story,
to inspire and nurture a faithful response to love, care for, and renew
a healthy God-given
relationship with the Earth.
Never before in history have people been so plugged-in and so out-of-touch with the natural world.
Creation is God's first Testament and
God continues to reveal God-self through creation.
