Earth Care Task Force

We believe that climate change is among the largest challenges ever faced by humanity and disproportionately affects disadvantaged people around the world and in Charlotte, including people of color.

We seek to provide understandable information and education about the science that underlies our belief about climate change and lead prayerful responses to mitigate its effects by addressing the root cause of climate change for members of First Presbyterian and in the Greater Charlotte area.

Each quarter, the Earth Care Task Force shares information and steps you can take to address climate change. If you are interested in becoming involved in our Earth Care activities at First Presbyterian, click the button below.
