Evangelical Environmental Network

What Evangelical Environmental Network does

The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry founded in 1993 and headquartered in New Freedom, Pennsylvania, that educates, inspires, and mobilizes evangelical Christians to engage in environmental advocacy as a matter of faith and pro-life values. The organization frames creation care as a theological and moral imperative, coordinating grassroots action campaigns on issues including EPA pollution standards, methane safeguards, mercury emissions, climate-smart agriculture, clean energy tax credits, and national monument designations. EEN mobilizes its community through email action alerts, advocacy training events, federal comment submissions, and the Creation Care Champions volunteer program, generating measurable participation such as 170,000+ advocates taking action in 2024, over 51,000 comments submitted supporting EPA carbon pollution standards, and more than 37,000 comments supporting stronger fuel economy standards.

EEN does not develop or sell technology products, software platforms, or proprietary intellectual property. Its operations are built on a community-led go-to-market model using a NationBuilder donation platform, social media channels across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, email newsletters including the Regenerate faith and agriculture publication, and partnerships with aligned ministries such as Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA), 1t.org US, Dordt University Agriculture Stewardship Center, Building Hope in the City (Hope Grows), and Fresh Harvest. Regional outreach is conducted through dedicated coordinators in Ohio and the Upper Midwest, with additional policy focus on Pennsylvania.

The organization's revenue model is donations and charitable contributions from individuals, churches, and foundations; no fees are charged for services. EEN maintains a lean operating team of 1-10 employees and is led by President and CEO Rev. Dr. Jessica Moerman (appointed May 22, 2023, succeeding Rev. Mitch Hescox who transitioned to President Emeritus) and governed by a Board of Directors that includes farmer members such as Ron Vos, a professor of agriculture and environmental science. The organization is actively operating and publishing content as of early 2026, with public positioning centered on opposing federal environmental regulatory rollbacks.
