The mission of the Connecticut Conference Environmental Ministry Team is to engage churches of the Conference in an active program of caring for God's creation via environmental stewardship that will preserve and restore Creation for our descendants and for all living things on Earth.

We will accomplish this by working with congregations to:

  • Reduce the environmental impact of their church facilities and activities,
  • Assist their members to reduce the environmental impact of their homes, activities, and businesses, and
  • Reach out to others to work and advocate for environmental stewardship.
