Faithful Resilience

How can our churches be hubs of resilience, helping our communities weather the physical, social, and spiritual storms of the climate crisis?
 
Over the last decade, hurricanes have intensified, wildfires have burnt stronger, and heat waves have baked our cities. These events can only be expected to get worse in the next decades. Most of our faith communities are not ready for these climate-driven disasters. Yet, the communities who will be most threatened by climate change also have an opportunity to play a pivotal role in building resilience in their towns and cities. Whether a church community has a large facility, land, social capital, or something else, those assets can be channeled into building climate resilience in preparation for the coming physical and spiritual storms of the climate crisis.

Mapping the Climate-Church Crisis

According to the National Climate Assessment, seas could rise by more than one foot by 2050 and up to eight feet by 2100. Meanwhile, hurricanes will continue to intensify, bringing stronger winds and more rain ashore.

Use the map below to see how churches along the coast will be affected by sea level rise and hurricane storm surge. Search for your own home or congregation by typing the address in the search bar.
