Christian Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are located on land that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We acknowledge that we are located on land that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. The world is his and everything in it, and every land under the whole heaven belongs to him. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills — and he also owns the thousand thousand hills. He determines the boundaries of the nations and gives them their land, that all people might seek him and worship him.
So we give thanks to God for the use of his land by his providence through the hands of our ancestors. He has planted us in this land, and we ask that we may never again be uprooted out of the land he has given us. We pray that everything done on this land, including what we do here tonight, will bring honor and glory to its rightful king. And we dedicate this event, like this land, to the Lord Jesus Christ. To God our Savior be all greatness, glory, majesty, dominion, authority, and splendor through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity — on this land and on all lands. Amen.
