Creatontide 2025

Thursday, 28 August 2025 12:43

The Season of Creation in the Christian calendar is observed from 1 September to 4 October 2025.

This season is dedicated to prayer, reflection and action for the care of God’s creation.

Rooted and guided by the bible, it offers churches and individuals across denominations a shared opportunity to renew their relationship with the natural world.

As environmental crises deepen, this season invites a faithful response, grounded in worship, repentance and hope, for us to live more gently and justly on the Earth.

This Season of Creation, churches across the country are making the Great Switch to a green tariff - and we’d love you to be a part of it.

An introduction from Will Rolls, Net Zero Carbon Programme & Projects Manager

As Christians, caring for creation is not just a response to a global crisis, it’s a reflection of who we are. We are called to love God and love our neighbours, and that includes protecting the Earth that sustains us all. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and the Church has a vital role to play not only as a moral voice but also as a steward of buildings at the heart of communities across the country. Acting on climate is a way of living out our faith, honouring the gift of creation, and standing in solidarity with those most affected.

What’s it all about?

God calls us to care for His creation and to love our global neighbours.

If all churches switched to a green energy tariff, that could reduce our carbon emissions by up to 78%, helping lead the way towards a cleaner, fairer future for all. 

The global climate emergency is a crisis for our world. That’s why the Church of England has an ambition to reduce our carbon emissions to net zero by 2030.

Together, we can act in faith, taking small but powerful steps to help restore God’s creation.

Taking a small step, to light the way.

Switching to a green energy tariff is a small but powerful step your church can take to reduce your environmental impact.

By choosing an ethical green energy supplier, we are:

Ensuring our churches can be a beacon of hope for everyone.
Actively increasing investment in renewable energy.
Supporting ethical companies working hard to reduce carbon emissions, addressing global climate injustice.
Demonstrating our faith in action.

What can you do?

Together, we can take small but powerful steps to help restore God’s creation.
Your church can join the movement and [pledge/switch], to a green tariff.
The green energy market can be tricky to navigate, so the CofE has done the research needed to help you confidently choose an ethical green supplier.
The Church of England website has guidance on choosing green tariffs. If you’re not quite ready to make the switch now, you can still join in by making a pledge.
God calls us to care for His creation and to love our global neighbours - why not join the movement and make The Great Switch this Season of Creation.
