Horsham Eco Churches encourage and inspire other churches on their Eco Church journey, to share ideas and find out more about caring for God’s world.
It was so good to get together with representatives from 6 HCT churches in April at Sussex Green Hub, to share information and ideas.
Who could go along from your church to join us on 28 May 2pm @ Sussex Green Hub?

Free Eco Church registration, survey and resources help you care for God’s earth in five key areas:
Worship and teaching
Management of church buildings
Management of church land

Lifestyle
The survey takes into account whether or not your church has buildings or land. Save and update your survey at any point. Collect points and consider further actions to gain points towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold Eco Church Award. For example, switching to a green energy company or using Fairtrade tea and coffee.
