“Injustice (disharmony, imbalance) anywhere is a threat to justice (harmony, balance) everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”   Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail 
The Greening Congregations Collaborative (GCC ) was established in 2015 when concerned members of six area congregations decided to work together on care-for-creation issues. Together we help raise awareness about Care for Creation as a faith response. We continue to grow and evolve in our ever changing world, and welcome other congregations to join. We are a friendly and fun group that celebrates what each brings to the conversation.
The GCC is an open affiliation of Whidbey Island faith communities who work together on behalf of Earth, our Common Home, through…

  • Inspiring
  • Celebrating
  • Advocating
  • Reflecting
  • Educating
…our individual congregations and the broader community toward active, effective creation care.  We work together holistically on a continuum of collaboration. We share information and support our individual congregation's projects as well as hosting joint activities.  We have an informal partnership with Earth Ministry which helps support and enable us to more fully inspire environmentally responsible behavior and leadership.
