Greening Ministries

The RUC Green Group works in four areas to raise awareness within our congregation and throughout our community. We strive to put our principles of environmental stewardship into practice.

Awareness – Increase our awareness through worship, programs and communication
Education – Make environmental stewardship a central element in our educational activities
Practice – Make our building and grounds more energy efficient and environmentally friendly
Outreach – Support social justice and mission activities that support the environment

Rockville United Church is certified as both an Earth Care Congregation from the National Presbytery USA and as a Green Justice Congregation from the United Church of Christ.

This year we are embarking upon an energy audit of our building and beginning a master plan for our grounds. We also host educational programs and are participating in the UCC’s 4/1 Earth Mission.
