Abstract
Green church initiative is a global approach to promoting a green church environment. It is one of the approaches that can be adopted to create awareness among the church leaders and church members to imbibe the practices and attitudes that promote environmental sustainability. In light of this, this paper, among other things, discussed the concept of green church, green church initiatives, and strategies to promote green churches in Nigeria. Depending on secondary data which were collected from print and online publications on green campuses, green schools, and sustainable environments. The paper concluded that the full adoption of the green church initiative in Nigeria would help to promote a green church environment and sustainability in the host communities. Development of a national plan for green church initiative, provision of funds, ensuring capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and setting up an internal committee on green church initiative are some of the strategies to promote green church initiative in Nigeria. The paper, based on the findings, recommends that the United Nations, international organizations, and government agencies in charge of promoting green environment and environmental sustainability globally and nationally should include Christian religious institutions in the cop program. International organizations and government agencies should collaborate with the Christian Association of Nigeria on ways to ensure the development of green church programs in all Nigerian churches.
