Eco Church is a reward scheme designed to assist churches that want to demonstrate their care for God’s creation within their worship, their church compound, and the community around them.

The Church performs simple environmental tasks which earn them points for rewards. These tasks are in the form of an environmental assessment tool designed along with the areas of church development. E.g. Faith Consistent Use of Asset, Education, Wisdom, Lifestyle, Media and Advocacy, Partnership, Celebration.

This program is designed to guide Churches and their members to become eco-friendly. Being Eco-friendly is being a friend to the environment and trying innovative ways in which one can reduce our carbon footprint and help save the environment. By acting on the simple tasks, the Church reduces its carbon footprint and also saves a lot of money.

The actions taken will count towards a reward in three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

The vision is for churches of all denominations to care for creation as an integral part of loving their neighbors and following God faithfully.
