God's Vision Our Mission

Eco-Ministry

 As earth-keepers, we strive to protect the planet God gave us and all of its creatures.  We work to reduce man’s footprint on the water, air & land — and boost awareness of environmental threats, solutions and opportunities.
 
Opportunities  
Help us clean up the stream that runs through Rockcrest Park, just a block away from our church. Crusader has adopted this scenic Rock Creek tributary by joining the City of Rockville’s Adopt-a-Stream program. We’ve marked all storm drains that run into the stream to remind neighbors not to pollute — and twice a year, we remove all litter from the waterway and its banks.
    When:  9 a.m. — Noon, Saturday, November 5, 2011

Walk or ride your bike to church whenever possible. You’ll get some great exercise … arrive refreshed in mind and spirit … and help reduce gasoline consumption. Our new bike rack makes bicycling a great option!
    When:  Sunday worship & other church events

Join Crusader’s Green Team, which continues to develop eco-ministry goals and plan future projects, such as installing a rain barrel below downspouts of church rain gutters and performing an energy audit on our building (both this year). For a PDF our Green Team brochure, click here 
    When:  Anytime.

Help cut our church’s use of fossil fuels. Shut entrance doors tightly and turn out the lights when you leave a room. Every small step counts! You’ll help save precious resources AND reduce Crusader’s utility bill. 
    When:  Any time you’re in the church!
