Creation Care
We are a conserving community.
We accept all of God's creations as worthy of our care.
GARDENING RESHAPES OUR WORLD
The GROW mission is to educate and demonstrate urban gardening techniques and to provide quality food for the greater Sheboygan community.
The Eden's Bluff church garden provides opportunities for garden education as well as a rich harvest of vegetables. Sunday School classes and Pilgrim Preschool learners also utilize the space in their curriculum.
There are many opportunities to get involved with the GROW Ministry. Volunteers can help to plan, plant, weed, and harvest the Eden's Bluff Garden or become involved in our kitchen. Contact Chris Kuehnel, GROW Coordinator, to learn more.
SOLAR ENERGY
Did you know that FCC has solar panels on our roof? Installed in 2011, these panels provide clean energy for our building! Learn more about the energy that is generated and used here.

COMPOST INITIATIVE
Throughout the church, you'll find bins that accept bio-plastics, compostable cups and other compostable items, as well as, of course, organic items like food scraps.
KAIROS CALL TO ACTION
Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning 'the right, critical, or opportune moment.' In modern Greek, kairos also means 'weather' or 'time.' Using this significant word for a climate action plan, the UCC created a ten-year action plan to inspire and guide faithful action in response to global climate change. Our Creation Care Team has adopted this plan. Here is our statement.
LAWN CARE INITIATIVE
At FCC, we are cutting back dramatically on fertilizing our church lawn. We are making a gradual transition to a more organic lawn as we study the subject and learn about available options. Join us in doing the same!
