Happy new year/semester friends! For any new followers, we want to introduce our program with a few our favorite things: farm animals, outside class time, and end-of-semester feasts!

The Theology, Ecology, and Food Justice Program is a Master and Certificate program .
We host classes outside of Waco, TX. We integrate Scripture reading and theological education with ecology and food justice.

The words of the prophet Isaiah cry out with us in the Advent season. Just as Isaiah waited on the coming Messiah, we pray with him in anticipation of the celebration of Christmas and Christ’s second coming.

As we light our Advent candles, we proclaim and pray for hope, peace, joy, and love. We hold God’s presence up as a light to the world until God returns. Whether this Advent feels more like darkness or full of light for you, we hope that you know God’s presence with you—our Emmanuel.
