Benefits of joining
Eco-congregation Scotland
- Members are eligible to take part in our awards scheme.

- Help to develop the environmental and spiritual activities in your church
- Opportunity to shape the future of the movement in Scotland.
How to register
STEP 1: Get Approval from the Congregation or Parish
As this is a commitment by a congregation or parish, we need approval from its decision-making body. This varies by denomination but it could be the Kirk Session, Vestry or Parish Council – or it could be a pastor, minister, priest or other clergy. You do not need to have done any environmental work to register as an Eco-Congregation. Registration is a statement of intent – that your church is concerned about the environment and wants to do something about it in the future.
STEP 2: Choose a named representative
As part of the application form, you are asked to provide contact details for someone who will be the named representative for your Eco-congregation. The Full Member is a named individual who represents the church. They have full voting rights at the AGM, can nominate people to the board and shape the vision of Eco-Congregation Scotland.
STEP 3: Complete the application form
Where possible, please complete our online registration form.
If you are unable to access the form online please contact us and we will provide the form in an alternative format either by email or post.
STEP 4: Submit your membership fee
| Congregation’s income over the last financial year | Membership Fee Due |
|---|---|
| Over £100,000 | £200 per year |
| Between £50,000 and £100,000 | £100 per year |
| Under £50,000 | We encourage churches to support our ongoing work by donating what they can afford. |
You will be sent payment information once you have completed the application.
What happens next?
Once you have completed your registration form:
We will send you a certificate that you can display within your church
You will be added to our mailing list so that you can receive updates about upcoming events and ways to get involved.
Please note that in line with our constitution, membership is subject to agreement from our board of trustees. The Full Member is a named individual who represents the church. In the event that your membership application is unsuccessful, you will be contacted with an explanation and any membership fees returned to you.
