Valley & Mountain has recently been honored for our efforts to integrate environmentally healthy practices into the total fabric of our community’s life (from the events we hold, to the theological topics we engage, to the way we use facilities and finances)! The United Methodist Council of Bishops has provided us with a grant to help create a resource for current and future new faith communities that will help them to incorporate ecologically healthy behaviors and principles into their unique way of being and building church. The resource, called “Green from the Start,” is now live and available for download on this webpage– just click on the link below!
Also check out this video about what we’re doing and why!
Thank you so much for this resource! I just checked it out via the Creation Care Newsletter. As an United Methodist seminarian (almost graduate) I am highly encouraged to see the church supporting new faith starts that have equal concern for people AND the environment.
Thank you for this resource I hope to use in my future ministry back in the PNW!
