Earth Care at FUPCDC

Let the trees of the forest sing,
Let them sing for joy before the Lord.
1 Chronicles 16:33

FUPCDC has been a certified Earth Care Congregation for more than 6 years. We have a very active Earth Care Team that has brought numerous improvements to sustainability efforts at the church and into the community, including:

Installing a Solar Array at FUPCDC - bringing renewable energy to the church [COMING IN 2026]
Collecting recyclable items that are donated to several nonprofit organizations, including Medical Missionaries and Soles4Souls
Promoting sustainable practices through various means including knowledgeable speakers, monthly articles, and social media
Collecting prom dresses & formal attire and donating them to Hope for Appalachia
Installing Helpsy collection bins for textiles and shoes in our parking lot to encourage reuse of these items in lieu of landfilling

Contact the church office at 703-670-7834 or office@fupcdc.org to become part of the Earth Care Team or to share your ideas of ways to care for God’s Creation.
