Our commitment
Caring for creation
We believe that it is our responsibility as Christians to care for the world around us. To help us do this, we take part in A Rocha's Eco Church, an award scheme designed to equip churches with the information they need to make environmentally friendly choices.
We are pleased to have been awarded our Bronze and Silver awards and are currently working towards Gold.

What we have been doing
Flower beds for bees and wildlife
Our gardening team have dug flower beds to make the grounds look attractive as well as providing a home and food for bees and wildlife.
Water butts and benches
We have installed water butts to collect rain water for watering the plants, and benches so that we can all sit and enjoy the garden.
A bug hotel, and a workshop for families
We created a bug hotel to encourage insects to make a home in our grounds, and held a workshop for our children and families to build their own for their gardens.
Milk in glass bottles
We have started having milk delivered in reusable glass bottles, and use a local wholesaler to buy food for church events.
Solar panels on the sports hall
Solar panels were installed on our sports hall roof to help reduce our energy usage.
