Eco Church

St Andrew’s Aylestone holds a Silver Eco Church award. This means that we have been working hard towards better care for God’s creation, adapting our practices as a church to reflect our commitment to better ecological behaviours within our work and worship.

Eco Church is a learning community of churches across all denominations in England and Wales. The scheme is run by A Rocha UK, a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world. It provides a framework to support churches like ours to take practical action on caring for God’s earth, looking at five key areas of church life:

• Worship and teaching

• Buildings and energy

• Land and nature

• Community and global engagement

• Lifestyle

Here at St Andrew’s we are incredibly proud of the progress we have made to gain our Silver award, and encourage all of our community to consider getting involved where they can.
