Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake

About

Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake works to ignite the power of the faith community to honor all of Creation by working together to protect and restore our shared watershed. Through communities of faith, we are elevating public understanding of the threats to clean water and how individuals and institutions can respond in meaningful ways. We have worked with nearly 300 congregations since 2013. Our One Water Partnership regional hubs are accelerating water quality improvements through best management practices installed on congregational grounds. Our network has planted over 15,000 trees and treated 2.5+ M sf of impervious surfaces to reduce the impacts of stormwater pollution emanating from the big parking lots and roofs at our institutions. Green Team training launched in 2019 has already trained near teams from over 50 congregations, helping them build their capacity to be leaders in their communities. We truly are "forming faithful stewards, caring for sacred waters."
