The Diocese of Fredericton is committed to partnering with our leaders to develop and deploy new and innovative ministries. Through a bequest to the diocese, we can explore these new methods more fully and encourage parishes and leaders to develop alternative ways of reaching their communities.
Our Innovative Ministries and partnerships include:
- Inner City Youth Ministry (led by a local board, executive director Bonnie Hunt and admin Erin Rideout). The ministry is committed to reaching children, youth and families in the priority neighbourhoods of Saint John, NB.
- Pennies and Sparrows - Central Saint John Community Ministry (led by Jasmine & Terence Chandra)
Additionally, the diocese provided seed funding for Outflow Ministries in the Saint John area. Outflow is committed to serving the marginalized in the community by providing a men's shelter, next-stage housing, employment training and experience. The former Anglican House building on Princess Street has been repurposed for Catapult Coffee & Studio.
