There is a growing movement among faithful stewards in Lancaster, PA! The Lancaster One Water Partnership received a grant from the Lancaster Clean Water Fund to continue to expand our mission in the region. This grant will help us increase our outreach capacity and support existing congregational green teams, with a focus on deepening relationships with environmental justice communities. 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:

Join our local task force meetings and put your fingerprints on programming in the region or hear from local organizations about the various ways to get more involved with their efforts in the region. Email our Pennsylvania Outreach Coordinator, [email protected] to learn more.

Congregations in Lancaster County and beyond 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 Lancaster 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
