No matter the size of your congregation, every faith community has the power to make a meaningful difference in caring for creation and protecting our shared watershed. From simple everyday actions to larger restoration projects, each step helps build a healthier and more sustainable Chesapeake region. We invite you to join our growing family of Partner Congregations who are answering the call to lead through stewardship, service, and environmental action.
To all who have already signed the pledge — thank you for being part of this movement. Your commitment is helping inspire change across communities and creating lasting impact for future generations. Below you’ll find helpful resources, tools, and ideas to continue building momentum, engaging your congregation, and encouraging others to become faithful stewards of the Earth.
Partner Congregations receive this beautiful poster as a tool for raising awareness and building momentum within their congregation.

* We have produced 2" x 2" cards (see them by clicking here) that make it easy to spread the word that your congregation has signed the pledge. This could be something you hand out to families after services. It contains a QR code for them to read the full pledge. You might even want to hand-write your green team leader's email address on there in case someone is inspired to join your team! We're happy to mail you 100 cards. If you need more, we can send you the file so that you can print off more through a printer.
