Here at Bobbing, we believe that God’s creation is precious and that Christians have a responsibility to be stewards of our planet. 

Psalm 24:1-2 (NIV)

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

WHAT IS ECO CHURCH? 

Eco Church is a learning community of churches of all shapes and sizes open to all denominations. It provides a framework to support your church and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth, through the Eco Church survey. Churches complete the unique, online Eco Survey about how they are caring for God’s earth in different areas of their life and work. The answers a church provides will collect points towards an Eco Church Award – the more a church does, the more points it is awarded!

The survey is based around five key areas of church life:

  • Worship and teaching
  • Management of church buildings
  • Management of church land
  • Community and global engagement
  • Lifestyle

In September 2024, Bobbing Church was awarded the bronze Eco-Church award. We are currently working towards our silver Eco-Church award. These awards recognise our work towards being more sustainable and environmentally friendly as a church and as a congregation.
