Green ELCSA

Today we kick off the ELCSA Green Champions Training with 39 registered participants, and a number of guests, joining this journey of faith, learning, and climate justice.
Over the next 4 weeks, we’ll be exploring powerful themes, from Theology of Creation Care to practical tools for advocacy and community action. Here’s a look at what’s coming up in the weeks ahead.

The mission is clear: as a church, we are called to care for God’s creation, the time is now 🌱🌍

We are proud to share the Green ELCSA Environmental Needs Mapping Narrative Analysis (April 2026). This report captures the lived realities of our communities facing climate and environmental challenges, and calls us to move from awareness to action. Thanks to all ELCSA members who participated in the surveys and interviews, your voices made this possible. 🌍💚

Day 4 of 5 | GRAPE Programme 🌍
Reimagining systems, strengthening advocacy, and building faith-rooted responses to inequality, climate injustice, and economic exclusion.

We are excited to welcome Rev Winny Thaba to the Green ELCSA Coordination Team, joining us as our Disaster Risk Reduction expert.

Rev. Winny serves in the Northern Diocese, Polokwane Circuit, Pietersburg Parish, and brings with her a wealth of experience rooted in community, faith, and practical response to environmental challenges.

Her presence strengthens our commitment to building resilient, prepared, and responsive faith communities in the face of climate and environmental realities. As Green ELCSA, we continue to respond not only through advocacy, but through action that protects lives, livelihoods, and dignity.
