Trinity is taking its first steps toward becoming an Eco Church.
Eco Church is a national awards scheme run by A Rocha UK that encourages and equips churches to care for God’s creation in practical and meaningful ways. Through a self-assessment survey, churches explore how they can protect the environment across five key areas:
Worship & Teaching – incorporating themes of creation care into our prayers and services
Buildings & Energy – reducing our carbon footprint and using resources wisely
Land & Nature – supporting wildlife and biodiversity
Community & Global Engagement – partnering locally and globally for climate justice
Lifestyle – helping our church family make sustainable everyday choices
By taking actions in these areas, churches earn points toward Bronze, Silver, and Gold Eco Church awards.
Since the scheme launched in 2016, Eco Church has grown rapidly and is supported by Christian Aid, the Church of England, the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church and the Benefact Trust.
Trinity is joining this movement, working together with the local Methodist Circuit as they explore becoming an Eco Circuit.
