A significant milestone has been reached as over 1,000 Methodist churches have now enrolled in Eco Church, with more than 700 receiving awards for their environmental commitments. This movement represents a profound shift in how churches are living out their faith through creation care.

The Methodist Church's Action for Hope net zero ambitions are bearing fruit across congregations large and small. From reducing carbon footprints to engaging communities in environmental stewardship, these churches are demonstrating that faith and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. This isn't just about policy—it's about theology. When we care for creation, we honour the Creator and model the kingdom of God to a watching world. Every church taking these steps is a beacon of hope and a practical witness to the gospel's transformative power.
