Sharing Resources, Experiences, and Faith Across Diocesan Boundaries

The Diocese of Georgia coordinates the work of our diocesan mission teams working closely with Bishop Moises, through the Mission Team Support Office of the Diocese of the Dominican Republic and with the Dominican Development Group. The DDG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization within the Episcopal Church that coordinates the work of all of the companion dioceses to help the Diocese of the Dominican Republic strengthen its programs and maintain financial self-sufficiency. The DDG Executive Director Christy Wallace is a parishioner in the Diocese of Georgia: (cwallace@dominicandevelopmentgroup.org)

The Diocese of Georgia allocates $10,000 in its budget to support the work of the Dominican Development Group (DDG). Bishop Logue and his designated representative are members of the DDG Board of Directors. The DDG is a consortium of the eleven dioceses (Central Gulf Coast, Eastern Michigan, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwest Texas, The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, Southeast Florida, Southwest Florida, Western Louisiana, and Western Michigan) with companion relationships with the Diocese of the Dominican Republic. The DDG assists the 50+ U.S. mission teams traveling to the Dominican Republic and raises funds for the DR diocesan endowment. The endowment supports the operations and the financial stability of the diocese. Additional diocesan funds are budgeted to support travel expenses to attend DDG board meetings in the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Beyond that, all costs of our dynamic relationship with our Dominican Episcopal partners are borne by parishes and individuals that choose to contribute their time and labor and/or their financial resources to projects chosen for mission teams.
