A Rocha UK’s Eco Church programme equips churches in England and Wales to care for creation.
Eco Church is a learning community of churches of all shapes and sizes open to all denominations. It provides a framework to support your church and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth, through the Eco Church survey. The survey covers five key areas of church life:
- Worship and teaching
- Buildings and energy
- Land and nature
- Community and global engagement
- Lifestyle
The survey will guide you and help you assess your progress towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold Eco Church award!
A Rocha UK is a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment. We are a member of Churches Together in England (CTE) and accept the CTE's Statement of Belief. As such, we welcome any church or organisation (where applicable) that supports this to join the Eco Church scheme.
Eco Church is a programme for churches in England and Wales. If you are outside of England and Wales...
- If you are a Church of England church in the Diocese in Europe then you can participate in the Eco Church programme and work towards an Eco Church award.
- If you live in Scotland please head over to Eco Congregation.
- If you live in Ireland please head over to Eco Congregation Ireland.
- If you are a Catholic community (church, parish or school) please head over to Live Simply run by Cafod.
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.
If every church participating in Eco Church donated £125, the future of the programme would be secure.
