Eco Circuit
A new scheme has been launched to continue the ongoing commitment of the Methodist Church to reduce its impact on God’s creation. Eco Circuit and Eco District awards have been developed to support the growing interest in Eco Church.

A Rocha UK’s Eco Church programme equips churches in England and Wales to care for creation. Eco Church is a learning community of churches of all shapes and sizes open to all denominations. It provides a framework to support your church and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth, through the Eco Church survey.
The survey covers five key areas of church life:
Worship and teaching
Buildings and energy
Land and nature
Community and global engagement
Lifestyle
The survey will guide you and help you assess your progress towards a Bronze, Silver or Gold Eco Church award!A Rocha UK is a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment. We are a member of Churches Together in England (CTE) and accept the CTE's Statement of Belief. As such, we welcome any church or organisation (where applicable) that supports this to join the Eco Church scheme.
