Welcome to Eco Church: A Rocha UK’s award scheme for churches in England and Wales who want to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for God’s earth.
Our free online survey and supporting resources are designed to equip your church to express your care for God’s world in your worship and teaching; in how you look after your buildings and land; in how you engage with your local community and in global campaigns, and in the personal lifestyles of your congregation.
The actions you take will count towards a prestigious Eco Church Award at Bronze, Silver or Gold level. Complete our Eco Survey to gauge where your church currently is in relation to the three different levels; you may find you already qualify for an Eco Church Award!
Our vision is for churches of all denominations to care for creation as an integral part of loving their neighbours and following God faithfully.
Help us bring that vision to reality by participating in Eco Church.
Join the Eco Church Community
Register to join the Eco Church Community through the ‘Inspired’ button below. You'll be taken to the sign up / log in screen of the EC platform from where you can get started. Once you’ve signed up as an individual you can then register your church or, if your church is already registered, join your church team.Please note: Eco Church plaques are priced at £96 as of the 5th September 2023. We haven't increased the price of our plaques since 2019, but having reviewed our costs, we'll need to implement a price change which will go live from the 5th September 2023. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the team at ecochurch@arocha.org.
Eco Church is provided free of charge, to help as many churches as possible celebrate what they’re doing to care for the environment and decide what to tackle next. It costs us money to keep it running, though.
