Saxthorpe with Corpusty is proud to have been awarded a Silver Eco Church Award.

The environment is God’s gift to everyone. And we have a responsibility towards each other to protect it. We cannot think of ourselves as isolated from others or from creation. One of the ways that local churches can care for creation is to get involved with A Rocha UK's Eco Church Scheme.

The scheme’s definition of an Eco Church is one which has committed to caring for the earth (God’s creation) and is seeking to express this through:

    + Their worship and teaching

    + The way they look after and use their buildings and land

    + Engaging with global and community environmental issues and campaigns

    + Encouraging church members and others to do likewise
