Earth Care
Highland has been certified as an Earth Care Congregation by the Presbyterian Hunger Program! To become an Earth Care Congregation, Highland affirmed an Earth Care Pledge to integrate environmental practices and thinking into our worship, education, facilities, and outreach.
The Earth Care Congregation certification is designed to recognize churches that make the commitment to take seriously God’s charge to “till and keep” the garden.
Our goals:
- Increase awareness and sense of responsibility as an Earth Care congregation; and
- Activate Highland’s members and the community at large to improve their own piece of Creation.

Green Master Plan
Our Green Master Plan provides us with a long-term guide for making thoughtful, sustainable landscape decisions across the church campus. Considering the site’s opportunities and constraints, the plan identifies areas where sustainable landscape strategies can be incorporated over time.
