Ecology, Christian Faith and Action

Mount Martha Uniting Church is committed to caring for our planet and responding to climate change. This care is expressed through practical action in our own life as a congregation, worship and spirituality, education and advocacy to government

Mount Martha Uniting Church goes solar

Solar panels are now installed on our hall and providing our day time electricity needs for hall and church (if you’ve never been during the week there’s a lot of activity going on around the place). In the coming years we hope to install a battery.

Together with the installation of energy efficient light bulbs and changes to practices this forms another step in our seeking to reduce our  carbon footprint.

Revegetating our 1 Hectare Property

Extensive work over 2022/23 has been occurring clearing overgrown Kikuyu and preparing for native plantings. Thanks to the efforts of the congregation, neighbours, friends, a Mornington Peninsula Shire Grant and The Mornington Peninsula Koala Tree planting Group we have planted in excess of 600 native and indigenous plants. The work continues with the invitation for community involvement as we enjoy overseeing a “rewilding” of the property.
