Congregational Membership
CoIPL seeks congregational members who will enter a covenant to work toward a more sustainable future. A group within the congregation can also enroll as a congregational member. Congregations can pick one or more of the following activities to commit to:
- Arrange for an energy audit of your congregation and begin making energy efficiency improvements to our congregation’s buildings;
- Adopt more environment-friendly practices for purchasing, using, and disposing of supplies and for transportation for congregation-related purposes;
- Make a meaningful annual financial contribution to CoIPL (checks may be made out to CoIPL); donations of $100 or more entitle the congregation to a free education program.
- Encourage your members to join/support CoIPL as individuals;
- Hold an educational program or study series for our members and/or neighbors on energy stewardship and climate change;
- Advocate with public officials to reduce the threat of climate change through public policy;
- Establish an ongoing group (e.g., “green team,” “creation care,” “earth stewardship committee”) within the congregation to address climate change and other environmental concerns.
