About our Work
The NCC is working with Maryland Congregations to care for God's Creation in the Chesapeake Bay. We have developed resources and are giving presentations to teach congregations practical ways to care for the Bay by installing rain gardens or rain barrels, improving the energy efficiency of your church buildings, or conserving water.
