Eco Church is a free, online, reward scheme designed to equip your church to work towards environmentally friendly practices.
Its purpose? To show that the Church is good news for God's earth.
Watch the video below to see how to become an Eco Church.
The process involves a simple online questionnaire and awards your church with a certificate.
It asks churches to express love for God's creation in management of buildings and land, community and global leadership, lifestyle, worship and teaching.
With three levels; bronze, silver and gold, your church might already qualify for an Eco Award!
