We are currently working with 11 low-income congregations across Michigan to implement $1.1million ($100,000 each!) in energy-saving improvements. 

As we always say, congregations that spend LESS on energy get to spend MORE on their vital missions, while modeling the benefits of sustainability. We believe that these will be transformative investments, not only for these 11 congregations, but for the larger communities they serve.  

"The [energy] savings will allow us to do more for our community, seniors, and expand our programming to meet the needs of the community.” -Pastor Millard Southern, Allen Chapel AME, Kalamazoo

The 11 participating congregations are: 

• Allen Chapel AME Church, Kalamazoo
• Asbury United Methodist Church, Flint
• Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church, Charlevoix
• Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Chassell
• Muslim Center Mosque and Community Center, Detroit
• New Mount Hermon Baptist Church, Detroit
• Pilgrim Baptist Church, Detroit
• St. Luke CME Church, Saginaw
• St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Detroit
• St. Suzanne Our Lady Gate of Heaven Catholic Parish, Detroit
• Trinity Reformed Church, Grand Rapids

You can read more about Sacred Spaces on our blog, where we'll be profiling each of the congregations.  

The funds for these energy-saving projects come via the Michigan Dept. of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and World Renew.
