As Christians we all have a calling to care for God’s world and all that is in it. The team at the Diocese are here to support you and your church community in this calling.
Meet the environmental projects team
I am delighted to volunteer my time as the DEO for Sheffield Diocese and am hugely encouraged by the response of our church communities. We have declared a climate and nature emergency and we need to work together for our beautiful and bountiful world. We have important choices to make and an opportunity to reset how ‘in Him, we live and move and have our being.’ It is a privilege to take up this challenge and work with Bishops Pete and Sophie and churches in our Diocese.

Become a Local Eco Church Champion
The Diocese Environment Team are looking to recruit volunteers who can draw on their experience of Eco Church in their own church to support other churches local to them. Local Champions will work in their Deanery area to promote the A Rocha Eco Church scheme and support new and established Eco Churches.
If you, or anyone you know, might be interested in working as part of our team to encourage Creation Care locally, please see the role description and contact Sally Hunter (click on the contact card above for details) for further information.
