Blue Theology 

The Blue Theology Mission Station is a place where current science in marine biology informs a theology of creation care

The Blue Theology Mission Station located at  First Christian Church of Texas City, Texas, located on Galveston Bay . We are currently accepting applications for the summer of 2022.

The Blue Theology Mission Station partners with local educational organizations focused on marine biology and offers a program that encourages faith formation through reflection and creativity. 

Hands-on projects include beach clean-ups, sand dune restoration, and scientific data collection. Groups are challenged to explore ways to promote ocean stewardship in their home communities. 

Prayerfully consider doing a different kind of mission trip next summer by signing up for a learning/serving experience in Blue Theology: A Christian Response to Ocean Stewardship.
