THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND EVERYTHING IN IT, THE WORLD AND ALL WHO LIVE IN IT. PSALM 24:1
We are living in the midst of a climate and environmental emergency. As Christians, we believe that we are creatures created by a loving and good God to be part of His good creation. As humans, we are aware of the part we have played in harming the world around us. As members of God’s Kingdom, we believe that we have a responsibility to love and care for the whole of the earth. We believe that Jesus came not just to bring redemption to humanity but to redeem the whole of creation and that God calls us to partner with him in the journey of bringing about his kingdom on earth. As a church we are on a journey of challenging and encouraging one another to care for God’s creation.
Our approach to environmental issues is something we are taking very seriously. We have taken great strides in the last couple of years towards becoming more environmentally responsible, and we are committed to making progress in all areas of church life. Part of our strategy is to establish our Eco Church Ministry which will address issues including environmental damage and climate change.
Eco Church is integral to who we are and how we ‘be’ church. It’s not a one-off project, it’s our future. Please do take a look at the ideas, resources and links we have shared. Most importantly though we request your prayerful consideration in how you might play your part in caring for creation.
Would you join us as we give some thought to areas of our lifestyles known to be environmentally damaging?
How about…

The Eco Team would also like to encourage members of the church family to audit their carbon footprint. We are looking towards putting in systems to monitor our church buildings and activities and encourage you to do the same at home. The Eco team suggests you look at these tools to help you to do so.
