The Eco-Church Working Group serves to help the church achieve one of its mission priorities, to get to Silver Eco-Church award status by the end of 2026.
Eco-Church comprises a framework and resources to assist churches in becoming more climate and nature friendly, recognising our responsibility as Christians to care for God’s creation.
The group has 8 members and meets every two months to identify and progress actions across the five Eco–Church themes of Worship & Teaching, Buildings, Land, Community & Global Engagement and Lifestyle.
The church achieved Bronze Award status in June 2024, a year after the group started. Highlights have included a Caring for Creation service, the installation of energy saving LED lighting, building a bug hotel, painting posters prior to CoP28 and encouraging church members to undertake an environmental lifestyle audit.
More exciting actions are planned as we start on our journey to Silver and anyone interested should speak to a member of the working group.
