The Tree of Life Green Team is an active church ministry team. Our Mission Statement is

We seek to:

1) Make the facilities of our church more environmentally friendly
2) Make our congregation more environmentally aware
3) Work with other churches and community organizations to advocate for better use of environmental resources

We were the first church in Elmhurst to earn the Earth Flag, awarded by Scarce and DuPage County

We do ongoing recycling events, educational programs, Earth Day celebrations and discussion series for our members. We can also be seen around town as active members in the Elmhurst Cool Cities Coalition, marching in the Memorial Day Parade picking up recycling, or advertising our annual Green Garden Fair

We’ve taken the pledge to not use chemical pesticides or fertilizers on our lawn and planted native plants on our grounds

The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful world in which to live and we are constantly learning how better to protect and preserve his gift
