FCC Vallejo is a certified Green Chalice Church. From the Green Chalice website: "Out of our call to “do justice” (Micah 6:8), we strive to demonstrate the fullness of God’s shalom through living out our faith by caring for God’s creation.."
Deep Green Commitment
FCCV's latest effort to fulfill our commitment to the Green Chalice ministry is to switch our electricity to 100% renewable sources. This is a new opportunity through MCE Clean Energy and their Deep Green program which we are very excited to join. This switch goes into effect in April, 2021. We are now a Deep Green Champion which means we are doing our part for the planet.
MCE, a not-for-profit public agency, provides customers like FCCV with a choice of cleaner, locally controlled electricity options. Their regular service provides 60% of customers' electricity from renewable sources (twice as high as typical energy providers). But, their Deep Green program provides 100% of the electricity from green sources like solar and wind. For a small monthly fee, our Administrative Council felt that it is well worth upgrading to the Deep Green program considering the immense importance of switching to clean, renewable sources.
We believe strongly in our commitment to caring for God's creation and this is a great effort towards that end.
