Environmental Stewardship
“The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it; the
world and all who live in it.” - Psalm 24:1
The environmental stewardship committee was formed in 2009. It’s mission reads:
We believe that God created the earth good and entrusted us with its care. Recognizing that the earth and its resources are precious gifts from God, we promote the stewardship of God’s world as an important and timely part of our life together as a worshipping community.
Our goals:
- We are seeking to embrace stewardship of God’s world.
- Bidwell Presbyterian pursues waste reduction, energy conservation, water conservation, and pollution prevention on our campus, within our congregation, and in our community.
As a church, we aim to:
- Work to reduce waste through reuse, recycling, and reducing use.
- Purchase sustainable products where possible.
- Provide avenues for individuals to provide feedback and suggest additional ways of improving practices.
As a congregation, we aim to:
- Understand why environmental stewardship is an important Christian value.
- Provide education about resource consumption and environmentally friendly lifestyles.
- Encourage carpooling and lower-carbon-footprint transportaion options, especially biking.
- Develop ways to reduce solid waste.
- Use creativity and celebration to encourage change.
- Live more simply so that we have less impact on the environment.
