Environmental Sustainability | St. Paul's Church

Our Sustainability Committee works to spread knowledge about stewardship of God's creation through educational programming for the St. Paul's Community, as well as partnering with the greater Mt. Lebanon community.

In addition, we work to live into our values of creation stewardship thorough our own environmental impact. Over the past several years, we have reduced our energy consumption through building updates, such as:

LED light bulbs in the worship space, and throughout the building.
Motion-detected light switches that turn lights off in rooms not in use.
New windows in education wing and worship space, to reduce heating and cooling needs.

In addition, St. Paul's is the first church in the Southwestern Pennsylvania area to “go solar.” Our array of 51 rooftop solar panels were dedicated and blessed with holy water. For the first full month of use, we saw a 70% reduction in the amount of purchased electricity - and some months, the panels could even make more electricity than we use, generating rebates from our electricity provider,

Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. We encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.

When you give to St. Paul's you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to be God's hands and feet in the world.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support.

Give Now

Each year, St. Paul’s asks parishioners to say how much they are going to give the parish over the next year. This is called a pledge. Some parishioners set up a recurring gift online -- this counts as a pledge too! St. Paul’s relies on parishioners to make a pledge or a recurring gift so that we can keep the lights on, celebrate the Eucharist, work with our community partners, pay staff, and run all the programming that the parish depends on. Your pledge or recurring gift keeps St. Paul’s running.
