Monthly Community Meetings

These meetings will celebrate success, build capacity for teams, elevate how the local context of oppression shapes our climate action, and the ways the Green Sanctuary 2030 process supports our work on climate justice, community resilience, congregational transformation, and mitigation - all balanced with the faith-filled call to impactful action on climate.

The Green Sanctuary 2030 (GS2030) process includes four campaigns:

  1. Congregational Transformation

  2. Justice

  3. Mitigation

  4. Adaptation and Resilience

You can approach the campaigns all at once, one at a time, or in groupings, depending on your capacity, strengths, areas for improvement, and interest.  Determine what you feel like you can manage, go at a reasonable pace, build on each accomplishment, and commit to ongoing action!

Congregations can engage in the GS2030 process with the goal of accreditation or simply to advance climate justice in the ways that make the most sense with your capacity.
