Our Mission

Answering the call to be good stewards of Earth and all Creation by building a faith-based movement of environmental stewardship and conservation action.

Who We are

We are a community of Latter-day Saints, friends and supporters, who find faith-affirming work in caring and advocating for God’s Creation, and contributing as wise stewards of the earth to further His eternal purposes and instruction to care for all living things.

What We Do

Our faith leaders counsel us to do good. Joseph Smith said, “I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, (2011), 281–91). President Gordon B. Hinckley admonished us to, “…stand strong, even to become a leader in speaking up in behalf of those causes which make our civilization shine and which give comfort and peace to our lives. You can be a leader. You must be a leader, as a member of this Church, in those causes for which this Church stands”

Our Priorities

The environmental challenges we face locally and globally are growing in both intensity and impact. There is great power in what we do individually, and in our families, neighborhoods and wards. But societies and systems must also be aligned to facilitate individual choices and better collective outcomes. Based on the doctrines that we find in scripture, and statements of past and present Church leaders, MESA is directing our efforts toward ten key environmental stewardship and conservation opportunities, challenges and threats that we find closely aligned with our beliefs and values.
