Eco Church

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
Psalm 24:1

God has given us this planet to look after and care for, and this is a responsibility we try to take seriously at ASH. Humanity is called to be stewards of God’s world, to use resources with wisdom and to join with God in His work to renew and restore creation.

As a church we are proud that our work on this front has been recognised by A Rocha UK with a Bronze Eco Church award.

If you would like to find out more about how we are seeking to become more sustainable, or pass any ideas to the eco team, please get in touch.
