"In every chapter of San Francisco's history, our church has been a constant presence in this community. Committing to solar energy ensures our doors remain open and our mission remains sustainable for the next century," said Mike Chambers, the senior warden of Trinity Saint Peter Church. "Releasing these funds means we can focus less on administrative costs and more on our neighbors. We take pride in demonstrating that a faith community with deep historical roots can lead the way toward a fairer world."

Susan Stephenson, Chief Executive Officer of CIPL, added: "Faith communities have a moral mandate to lead climate solutions." "St. Peter's Trinity Church is truly inspiring, as it is a sacred space with a century-old history that embodies the future of our clean energy."

This Wednesday, the church will lead an Earth Day cleanup event to showcase and invite community members to participate in their outreach program.

RE-volv provided the church with a zero-down loan, enabling the congregation to start saving on energy costs from day one.

RE-volv Executive Director Andreas Karelas stated, "For 175 years, Trinity-St. Paul's has been a pillar of the San Francisco community. Community leaders like Trinity-St. Paul's demonstrating their commitment to sustainability by adopting clean energy is profoundly significant. This is an example of the kind of genuine community leadership needed to address the climate crisis."
