“...I am writing to thank your congregation for being a national leader in environmental and financial stewardship represented by your worship facility achieving ENERGY STAR certification first in 2009, followed by 2012-2017 - the most years certified of any congregation." --- Jerry Lawson, National Manager, ENERGY STAR for Congregations
On average, Energy Star certified buildings use 35% less energy and cause 35% fewer harmful pollutants than comparable U.S. buildings. "There are many reasons why St Andrew's originally got involved in this program: decreasing budgets and increasing utility rates being the obvious ones," said Bob Lord, the volunteer who spearheads this effort. "Ultimately, though, as a church, we felt we had a special calling by God to be the best stewards possible of the gifts he has so richly bestowed on us."
