The Eco(Teo)logy intended to be presented as an interdisciplinary approach that seeks to converge the scientific and religious discourses integrating ecology and theology in his reflection on the environment and his problematic, besides proposing a shift of paradigms by re(link) man with creation and the Creator himself. The understanding of theologians whose approach focuses on Eco(Teo)logy is that spirituality can be a tool for environmental awareness and thus contribute to the formation of a new ecological awareness and engagement on the part of the Evangelical Church. The contribution of discursive tradition in building a biblical theological discourse environment has been updated with the readings of the traditions of creation, destruction and restoration, respectively found in the books of Genesis and Revelation in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. The expectation that revolved around this research was to determine whether the theological discourse may or may not contribute to environmental awareness and, therefore, were surveyed institutional and ecclesiastical practices of environmental evangelical theological discourse, observing, recording and analyzing the participation of some Evangelical Christian ONGs, Brazilian Baptist Convention, the Baptist Church in Brazil and especially in Cabedelo, PB, in relation to their performance in relation to environmental issues in order to improve the quality of life in the local community. The methodology for the research included the development of literature and documentary observation, the photographic record and analyze speech, experienced from the social perspective of Foucault. The purpose of this work is to understand the relationships between ecological and theological discourses and its practice at Baptist Church, in the city of Cabedelo, PB.
