Creation Care 

Objective

To have caring for creation in its rightful place as the Anglican Church’s 5th Mark of Mission within St John’s Church: ‘To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth’.

It’s clear from the Bible that God commands us to steward his precious creation that we’ve been given. ‘The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work and take care of it.’ Gen 2:15 (NIV)
We need to take care of it, particularly at a time of climate crisis, biodiversity loss, pollution and environmental degradation. It is a witness to the world, one way of demonstrating how the world would be with God as king.

Creation Care Group

In 2024 a new Creation Care group was established and we are hoping that many other church members will support or get involved in this vital work.

What we would like to achieve?

  • Eco Church: achievement of Silver Award status (currently Bronze) and progress beyond. 
  • All congregants to have reflected on their own lifestyle and carbon footprint.
  • All church decisions (e.g. purchasing and practices) to be made in the light of our commitment to care for creation.
  • Creation care seen as integral part of the gospel, Christian discipleship and mission.
  • Church adopting plans to meet the objective of Net Zero Carbon by 2030 (or soon afterwards) if this is practical.

Creation Care Team: Paul Dyer, Tim Glenn, Rachel Green, Roland Green, Alastair Hardie, Joanna Hardie, David Morgan (Chair), Jean Morgan, Jane Ough, Richard Ough.

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the VicarRevd. Peter Breckwoldt

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
