Thank You for Signing Up!

We're engaging churches in new ways of thinking about animals and Christian faith, with a special focus on farmed animal welfare. We work in three main areas: food policy partnerships, education, and community-building. Please be sure to check out our main resources by browsing the following pages.

changing the Default

DefaultVeg is simple. By making plant-based food the default, we make the choice at every meal to help animals, the environment, and other people (including farm and meatpacking plant workers all over the world). At church or other group events, we give people the choice to opt in for meals with animal products if necessary, instead of having to opt out of them. A DefaultVeg approach is simple, inclusive, and cost-effective. DefaultVeg helps Christian communities turn their commitments to creation care, farmed animal welfare, justice, and stewardship into eating practices that mean good news for everyone. 

Small Group Course for Churches

CreatureKind's six-week small group course for churches asks, "Is Christianity good news for animals?" Learn why the answer is a resounding yes and how you can use our free six week course for small groups to learn about animal welfare and the church and to explore how to care for animals more faithfully

thinking carefully, cultivating community

Too often, Christian animal advocates feel isolated: the only vegan at the church potluck, the only Christian at the animal rights protest. CreatureKind works to strengthen the church by affirming the call and meeting the spiritual needs of individuals working in animal protection and to provide a community in which they can express their experience, strength, and hope among like-minded Christians. We help Christians think like Christians about animals.
