We work with dioceses and parishes to help church buildings stay open, welcoming, sustainable places, playing their part in the life of the nation.
We support the conservation and responsible development of our church buildings for worship, mission and community engagement.
We run the Church of England’s environmental campaign and work environmental sustainability into everything we do.
Follow us on Twitter @CofE_ChurchCare for information on how churches are opening up and using their buildings. Follow @CofEEnvironment to get updates from our environmental campaign.
