The Green Team

We are called to be stewards of and care for the land for which we reside. As part of Messiah’s call to care for creation, the Green Team’s mission is to educate the congregation on eco-friendly practices and products, challenge the congregation to move to more sustainable resources, and always seek ways to better use and heal the land in our care.


We are doing this by:

  • installing solar panels to offset our carbon footprint while using our roofs sustainably.
  • We are redeveloping portions of our grounds into prairie and rain gardens to strengthen our soil, reduce rain runoff from our parking lot, and offer a greater habitat for pollinators and birds!

Ground Breaking for

Rain Garden & Prairie


We are breaking ground by planting on the north end of Messiah to begin our rain garden and prairie! We dug out the sod and planted the rain garden plants.

Prairie Project


On October 26 we had a work day to get the outdoor property ready for winter. This included covering the grass on the hill to prepare it for the prairie.
