IPC has connected with 397 faith communities through the One Water Partnership, many of whom belong to communities in Howard County. This network has grown considerably and these faith communities want to increase their impact by installing green infrastructure projects, so IPC is here to help through the Howard County One Water Partnership! Check out our Skills Matrix-Projects & Programs page which lists congregations projects and programs that will inspire you and your congregation to take action.

Get involved and join us for an upcoming regional event:

If you would like to learn more about how your congregation can join the One Water Partnership in Howard County, please contact us at [email protected] or by phone at (410) 609-6852.

Congregations in Howard County can get help to start and sustain a creation care ministry or "Green Team". Congregations are asked to:

1. Send a team of preferably 3 or more members to IPC's Faithful Green Leaders Training
2. Sign the IPC Partner Congregation Pledge
3. Commit to installing or maintaining a "green infrastructure" practice that has direct positive water quality impact like planting trees, installing a cistern or rain garden, or conservation/native plant garden (see Howard County Menu for Action)

Special thanks to all of our One Water Partnership partners and Partner Pledge Congregations. See the full list at: pledge-signing congregations.
