Green Church Initiative
God instructs humanity to be good stewards of God’s creation. In taking this responsibility seriously, Christians are finding new ways to love, protect, and serve their neighbors, human and non-human alike.
As more and more Christians are realizing the divine call to care for creation, there is more and more desire for our churches to take action for a cleaner, greener world. But how to get started?
The Creation Care Committee is happy to provide this tool, the Green Church Initiative, for local churches to use in becoming better caretakers of God’s creation.
The Creation Care Committee is committed to helping as many churches as possible become Green Church certified. Coaches are available to help your church get started or answer any questions you might have.
If you have any questions or wish to speak with someone about the Green Church Initiative (or arrange a speaker for your church), please reach out to Rev. Jacob Dye at jdye@nccumc.org and Rev. Jane Almon at jalmon@nccumc.org.
