We have had a Creation Care Committee since 2015. The committee has engaged in various activities and organised events for the church, including:
- Information sessions on topics such as recycling, climate change and native birds.
- Taking part in tree planting days with the local Landcare group and Charles Sturt University.
- Guided bushwalks and a bike ride at locations in the local environment, with prayer.
- Installing solar panels on the church roof and setting up recycling.
- Annual Aussie Bird Counts – we state our organisation as Wagga Wagga Baptist Church in the online form.
- Clean-up Australia days.
Our church is located very close to the Murrumbidgee River and its riparian River Red Gum forest. A number of our creation care activities have occurred at sites adjacent to the river and its wetlands.
