This research explores the climate crisis as a pedagogical opportunity in youth ministry by analyzing interactions with nature. While nature-related activities are common, they often reflect consumer culture, treating the Earth as a didactic tool rather than fostering a profound connection and commitment to eco-justice. By critically examining current youth ministry programs, the paper advocates for "sympoiesis" to cultivate ecological awareness and responsibility. A case study of a "green" church in South Korea illustrates this approach, aiming to develop lasting commitments to eco-justice among youth.
