Balancing a congregational budget is difficult. Caring for congregants, paying staff and clergy, funding mission work, and just plain paying the bills all place incredible demands on a congregation. But what if paying utility bills tied into mission work? And caring for buildings, grounds and congregants all went hand in hand? NCIPL’s emPOWERed program addresses the many challenges and opportunities regarding congregational energy efficiency and conservation. The program offers several ways congregations can conserve energy, save money, and lessen their dependence on fossil fuels.
Learn more at an upcoming program showcase (currently scheduled in Greensboro and New Bern), or contact us at connected@ncipl.org to schedule one. Space is limited so please RSVP through the Greensboro or New Bern links.
