Iowa Faith & Climate Network is excited to gather people of diverse faith and spirituality from across Iowa for Called to Climate Action 2026, our annual one-day, statewide conference rooted in faith, justice, and collective action.
This gathering offers a full day of spiritual grounding, learning, connection, and practical action. We are honored to welcome Rev. Jenny Phillips, Director of Environmental Sustainability at Global Ministries and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), who will offer the keynote address, bringing deep experience at the intersection of faith, climate justice, and global mission.
Through workshops, participants will engage topics including clean water, the state of cancer in Iowa, clean energy and how congregations can get involved, local food systems, storytelling, and screenings of Iowa’s Dirty Secret. These sessions will ground conversations in Iowa’s lived realities and provide pathways for hopeful action. The day also includes time to network with tabling organizations and event sponsors during our Advocacy Fair, as well as regional breakout groups. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with over a dozen nonprofits and businesses doing climate, environmental, and related work across Iowa.
