“Recycling is a concrete manifestation of our commitment to love, respect and care for the Earth”
Green Ministry
Why We Care
-
Faith calls us to stewardship
We believe that caring for the Earth is a sacred responsibility. As stewards of God’s creation, we are called to protect and preserve the planet for future generations.
-
Creation care is an act of justice
Environmental harm often affects the most vulnerable among us. By engaging in Green Ministry, we work toward a more just and sustainable world for all of God’s people.
-
Living our values through action
Our faith is not just what we believe, it’s how we live. Recycling, reducing waste, conserving energy, and advocating for the planet are all ways we put our beliefs into practice.
Drop Off Recyclables every 3rd Saturday of the month
at CCUCC, Los Alamitos
We collect bottles and aluminum cans only as part of our recycling ministry.
Your contributions support both environmental stewardship and community outreach.
