Christ Inc Green Church Toolkit
Practical steps for churches to steward energy, water, land, and community
Summary
The Green Church Toolkit equips congregations to live their faith in visible ways: reduce energy waste, care for water and land, plant food, and restore community health. Worship meets stewardship so the sanctuary extends into neighborhoods and ecosystems.
- Energy: retrofits, audits, renewables, microgrids
- Water: rain capture, efficient fixtures, watershed prayer walks
- Grounds: native landscaping, pollinator gardens, food forests
- Community: recycling drives, cleanups, green job training
Warning
This resource offers spiritual and educational guidance only. It does not replace professional counseling, medical or legal services, or emergency help. If a situation involves hazards, threats, or immediate danger, contact local authorities and leadership at once.
Plan
- Audit and assess: measure energy, water, and waste baselines
- Retrofit and renew: LEDs, solar, efficient HVAC, rain tanks
- Landscape for life: native plants, gardens, soil regeneration
- Teach and disciple: weave stewardship into preaching, youth, worship
- Report and witness: share progress to encourage others
