LPC was certified as an Earth Care Congregation in 2023.
The PCUSA's Presbyterian Hunger Program certifies congregations that make an ongoing commitment to take seriously God’s charge to “till and keep” the garden.
In 2022, our congregation affirmed the Earth Care Pledge (below) to integrate environmental practices and thinking into our worship, education, facilities, and outreach. To achieve our initial certification, we accrued points through specific activities in each of these four areas. To maintain our status, we will continue to involve the whole church in sustainable initiatives that serve our congregation and the wider community.
