Eco Church
In 2021 the Mint Church registered as an Eco Church, one of over seven thousand in England and Wales, we obtained our bronze award at the start of 2022 and in March 2024 we obtained our Silver Award. We will now be working towards Gold. We realize there are a lot of restraints on what we can do easily due to our older buildings but we are incorporating the theme of care for creation more strongly in our worship and teaching, strengthening the green credentials of our building and the activities that happen in it, working in local and global partnerships with others committed to environmental concerns, and challenging the lifestyle of our members. Our Young Church provided us with the impetus we needed to become greener in our actions as well as our words, and we are determined to pass on to the next generation a church committed to the fullness of God’s creation. We are currently working at building relationships that will enable the church and the many users of the centre to address the issues together, and also at strengthening relationships with those outside the church who share similar aims.
