Relationship with Downtown Community Ministry (DCM)
In
recent years St John’s has formalised its relationship with Downtown
Community Ministry, and is now a member church. As a parish,
St John’s contributes several thousands of dollars a year in funding
to the work of DCM. St John’s members also assist with contributions
towards the food bank and membership of the management board.
The
Downtown Community Ministry provides an ecumenical ministry to the
city on behalf of St Peter’s Anglican, Mt Victoria Presbyterian,
Wellington Society of Friends, St John’s in the City, St Joseph’s
Roman Catholic and Wesley Methodist Churches.
Since
DCM was formed in 1969, it has acted as a catalyst for a number
of community initiatives which have then continued in their own
right. DCM also has a significant advocacy role in the city.
