Eco Church
Eco Church helps churches take practical action, step by step, to care for the environment. Filling in the survey is a simple but effective way for a church to assess progress. The survey relates to five areas of church life:
-
- worship and teaching
- buildings
- land
- community and global engagement
- lifestyle
The cumulative steps result in graded Eco Church awards. St. Peter’s achieved a Bronze award in 2024, and became a Silver Eco Church in 2025.
St. Peter’s is also aiming to try to become a carbon net-zero church by 2030, in line with the commitment of the Church of England; find out more about carbon net-zero here.
