ABOUT GREEN THE CHURCH
Green The Church is a sustainability initiative designed to tap into the power and purpose of the Black Church Community and expand the role of churches as centers for environmental and economic resilience. As The Environmental Organization of the Black Church, we strive to teach faith communities, environmental organizations, and individual practitioners how to work in concert in order to “Green” The Black Church. For over ten years now we have worked to develop a repository of congregations working in this sector. We continue to grow that repository and use it to engage the wider community as a nonprofit Educational Institute with an online portal to empower others who would like to work at this intersection as well; in that way, we will become a more efficient catalyst for the movement.
