Minister Arianna Fobbs
ECCI Executive Board
Stewards Embassy's engagement with agriculture, land, and food systems as a Kingdom mandate — from community gardening to the theology of the earth.
The Ministry of Agriculture stewards Embassy Nation’s engagement with the earth. Under Minister Arianna Fobbs’s leadership, this office carries the theology of the land, cultivates community food systems, and connects the covenant community to the Kingdom mandate to steward what God has given.
The earth is the Lord’s — and the fullness thereof. This office is not an afterthought. It’s the recovery of a mandate the Church has too often forgotten: that stewardship of creation, care for food systems, and connection to the land are Kingdom work, not adjacent to the mission but part of it.
Every function of the office.
Community Gardening
Gardens at ECCI campuses and in the surrounding communities — hands in the soil, food on the table.
Food Security
Fresh food access, produce distribution, and partnerships that address food deserts in our communities.
Theology of the Land
Teaching, formation, and preaching on creation stewardship, the sabbatical rhythm, and the earth as covenant.
Local Farmer Partnerships
Direct relationships with local farmers, urban growers, and food-system leaders across the region.
Youth Engagement
Connecting the next generation to the earth — where food comes from, how it grows, what it means.

Practical stewardship of Embassy's own facilities, grounds, and environmental footprint.
