CROWTHORNE BAPTIST CHURCH
Eco Church
Welcome to the CBC Eco-Church page!
As a group, The Eco-Church Team believes that God calls every one of us, made in his image, to care for his creation (Genesis 1 : 26)
God has given us a good and beautiful creation, but humans have not treated our natural environment in a way that reflects this. Furthermore, the poorest in our world are going to suffer the worst impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. As Christians, we are called to care for the most vulnerable in our society (Matthew 25:40). Therefore, we advocate making small differences as individuals, a church and a wider community to improve our environmental impact and further our appreciation of God’s creation.
Here are some practical ways in which we are doing this:
-
Church events advocating creation care, including speaker events and bi-monthly walks.
-
Church services based around the theme of creation care, including services advocating the work of NGOs such as Tearfund and A Rocha.
-
Working towards using Fairtrade products.
-
Bee-friendly planters around our building.
-
Auditing our buildings to make energy saving choices.
-
Working towards using environmentally friendly cleaning products.
-
Improving our recycling practices.
