We strive to improve our sustainability with eco-justice; recycling; composting; and conservation of resources, water, and energy.
We teach and involve all ages in organic gardening in our 3 gardens: Erosion Control Rain Garden; certified S.C.Wildlife Federation Habitat Garden; and certified National Wildlife Federation “Kids’ Garden” which gives all of its produce (almost a ton to date) to Rehoboth Global Methodist Church Food Pantry.
We involve our congregation and community in Environmental Stewardship education with various learning opportunities provided for all ages throughout the year including events with environmental educators.
We are actively involved in community service and have been certified and recognized by several organizations: we received the 2021 Adopt-a-Waterway Group of the Year from Keep the Midlands Beautiful; in 2012 we received the Sustainable Midlands 2012 Congregational “Sustainable Champion” Award, The Keep the Midlands Beautiful 2013 Green Neighborhood/Community Group Award, DHEC’s state 2014 ‘Spare the Air’ Community Award, and the GreenFaith national Water Shield.
