About Us

Green The Church Louisiana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit sustainability initiative and environmental justice organization—of and for the Black Church in our state—working to promote sustainable practices, raise awareness about environmental challenges, and empower Black Church communities to take action. We help churches with the life and death work of ensuring our communities survive the effects of disasters and environmental racism.

We welcome anyone from our state to join in our mission to build power for change.

We build influence and capacity through targeted, localized efforts to support our communities in gaining access to green energy, and safe, clean air and water.
