Encouraging energy efficiency as a means of Christian stewardship

Part of Enough for Everyone, a partnership ministry of the General Assembly Council

What is electric stewardship?

Electric Stewardship is a project of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in which congregations care for God's creation through energy conservation and energy efficiency. The 1990 General Assembly calls on the church in its own life to teach, exemplify, and advocate for energy efficiency. There are many ways to take care of God's creation; saving electricity is a good first step.

How can my church participate in electric stewardship?

Electric Stewardship: Plug Into Conservation asks churches to undergo energy audits and to put into action at least one of the new energy saving steps recommended by the audit. Suggestions from an energy audit might range from turning off lights when rooms are not in use to replacing old appliances with updated energy-saving models.
