According to church records, 145 United Church of Christ churches have solar panels. The Congregational United Church of Christ in Greensboro is one such example. It is one of eight UCC churches in North Carolina with solar panels. We noticed the panels driving along Josephine Boyd near Friendly Avenue. The actual location is Radiance Drive.
One of the UCC solar churches reported liking the lower energy costs and also sees the initiative as "eco-evangelism" * It is seen as "creation-justice" work. The solar panels are located on the east side of the church, capturing the energy from the morning sun. This church also has a habitat refugium in the front yard for plants, birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. The church is committed to using native plants in their habitat refugium. This seems like a church that really makes an effort to welcome people of all backgrounds, and they make an effort to teach people how to live sustainably.
Happy Sunday!
