This study explores the role of Christian Religious Education in building awareness of the ecological crisis. The purpose of the study is to identify the contribution of teachers or educators in forming ecological awareness in Christian educational environments. The method used in compiling this article is a qualitative research method with literature studies. Through in-depth theological research, this study provides a comprehensive picture of the role of Christian religious education in instilling and building ecological awareness for students. The results of the study indicate that the awareness that God is the creator, God who blesses and gives mandates is an important theological foundation to understand in relation to ecological awareness.
