Gilford Community Church Completes Clean Air Project, Continues with Clean Energy Project

Gilford Community Church (GCC) recently installed UV light filters across its entire campus, including Gilford Youth Center, to complete a clean air project. “The project reduces the spread of air borne diseases, while also making our church a state of the art interior space for gatherings,” said GCC member Warren Hutchins.

The project builds off a major renovation that took place at GCC ten years ago in which new HVAC equipment and electrical services were installed.
“It was during this time when we built the Gilford Youth Center,” said Hutchins, who noted the clean air project reflects GCC’s broader commitment to the community. "We have a responsibility to create a safe and clean environment for anyone who comes through our doors,."

In addition to the installation of UV light filters, GCC has embarked on a clean energy project, which has entered Phase 2.

“We are installing solar panels to further reduce our carbon footprint,” explained Pastor Michael Graham, who credited Peter Stewart of Stewart Associates Architects as instrumental in the ongoing project. “His expertise and familiarity with our campus -- he drew up the plans for our remodeled church -- really helped move this project along."

Completed in April 2020, Phase 1 consisted in the replacement of all current lighting fixtures with LED lighting fixtures as well as more efficient lighting control systems on the church campus.

“Eversource also helped us conduct an electricity usage audit,” said Hutchins. “Eversource also provided financial support towards both the cost and the installation of the LED’s, which laid the groundwork for the solar panel installations, a project that should be complete by the end of September.”

Funding for both projects has been made possible through grant funding, individual donations and financed loans.

“It has taken the proverbial village to deliver these projects, so this is a community-wide effort that will pay dividends for decades to come,” added Graham. “I believe both projects make a meaningful difference in our community and the world.”

Located in Gilford, NH, Gilford Community Church (GCC) is an inclusive, open community that accepts believers and doubters, seekers and skeptics, young and old.

The killing off of entire species of wild life in Africa is a very radical proposition, to say the least. She was, however, able to lucidly get her point across. Besides that, I have nothing more to commend about her.
