Who We Are

In 2002, Fr. Charles Morris, a Catholic priest, convened a diverse group of faith leaders and founded Michigan Interfaith Power & Light as a faith response to global warming. Michigan IPL is part of national Interfaith Power & Light and was the fourth state to join. There are currently 40 state affiliates who reach a total of 18,000 faith communities across the country. In 2021, MIIPL established the Capital Area Chapter, which serves the mid-Michigan region.

What We Do

Michigan Interfaith Power & Light’s mission is to inspire and equip people of faith to exercise stewardship of and love for all Creation. We offer practical ways to put faith into action by promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable practices that lead to a cleaner, healthier, and more just world.
