The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) sponsors a program by which congregations are certified as “Earth Care Congregations.” For this status, the congregation must demonstrate a level of active caring for God’s creation in four areas: Worship, Outreach, Education and Facilities.
Each year since 2019, Lowcountry Presbyterian has been awarded Earth Care Congregation status. LPC is one of only a few churches in South Carolina with this certification. To remain certified, we must continue to find new ways of acting responsibly with God’s creation. Each year, we report to the national church about our activities in caring for God’s creation and request continuing status as an Earth Care Congregation.
