Georgia Interfaith Power & Light’s (GIPL) 2025 Green Team Summit is on Sunday, Feb. 23 from 2-8 p.m. Green Teams, faith leaders, and environmental activists from across Georgia will gather at Northside United Methodist Church for a time of fellowship and shared learning. This year's theme is “Seeding Life.”
This summit aims to cultivate a shared vision for a flourishing world rooted in hope and joy. Participants will learn more about GIPL’s new ReWilding program for sustainable land use, as well as other practical climate solutions, and policy initiatives that will seed new life in their congregations and communities. This year's keynote speaker Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., the President & CEO of Hip Hop Caucus, will inspire faith communities to live out a faith that is grounded in active hope, embraces resilient change, and sows the seeds for a healthier, more vibrant world. The summit will also offer a series of workshops that will help equip congregations to build Green Teams, combat climate change through practical climate solutions, and engage in climate advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels.
Note: Registration for the Green Team Summit is closed! There will be no same-day registration. If you missed out on purchasing a ticket this year, don’t worry though—there will be more opportunities to connect, learn, and take action in the coming months.
