Climate Justice as Faith
Part of our biblical responsibility, caring for creation is central to our mission. Since 2006, our Cool Planet Working Group has championed environmental justice, advocating for those disproportionately harmed by climate change. We have been designated an Earth Care Congregation by our denomination for over a decade.
Our Environmental Work
- Held engaging film screenings, book talks, and educational series
- Electrified church facilities—installing heat pumps to reduce fossil-fuel dependence
- Conducted annual green audits across worship, education, facilities, and outreach to maintain Earth Care status
- Actively engaged in interfaith climate coalitions and advocated for fossil fuel divestment ⎯ at both local and denominational levels
- Organized community events like regifting tables and city-wide forums to connect faith and climate action (fpcpaloalto.org)
