"The Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA) is an international, non-denominational ministry of believers dedicated to respectfully promoting healthy, Christ-centered and God-honoring living among Christians.
We advocate nutritious plant-based diets in the global Christian community. Through publications, websites, and related public information campaigns, we educate people about the distinct health, environmental, and animal-related advantages of plant-based eating.
An Environmental and Health Ministry
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? (I Cor. 3:16)
We encourage vegetarianism because the diet is ecologically sound, helps alleviate world hunger, and benefits human health.
An Animal Welfare Ministry
The CVA respectfully addresses humans' relationship with animals from a comprehensive biblical perspective. We attempt therefore to actively participate in the "reconciliation of Creation" that promises to result in the "Peaceable Kingdom" foreshadowed by Scripture. (See Gen. 1:29-30; Isa. 11:6-8; 65:17-25; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Col. 1:16-23; and Dr. Rev. Andrew Linzey's "Declaration of the Peaceable Kingdom.")
A Discipleship Ministry
The righteous man has regard for the life of his beast. (Proverbs 12:10)
Vegetarianism offers people everywhere important ways Christians may positively impact God's world for Christ, by caring for people, animals, and the environment. We believe, therefore, that encouraging plant-based diets is an effective, evangelistic witness to the gospel. It is a contemporary response to Christ's command to "go and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19)"
