The Green Church Awards is a three-tiered environmental stewardship recognition program of the Environmental Ministry Team. Churches that complete each level receive a certificate of achievement to celebrate the environmental stewardship efforts, and to inspire further action.
To get started, download and print the Green Church Action Steps Checklist and the Green Church Application form. There are 3 Levels of recognition; each of which is awarded upon completion of 12 or more items in the appropriate list. Fill out the application, sign it and send it with your completed checklist to Pam Arifian. A member of the EMT will schedule a visit to your church to present the certificate during worship service.
The Connecticut Conference Environmental Ministries Team certifies local churches as Green Congregations with three levels of achievement. Each progressive level requires churches to take 12 action steps.
A helpful resource in getting started in your church is on the national UCC website: How It Works: Becoming a Creation Justice Church in Six Steps
