Today, St Anselm's represents the coming together of Congregational, Presbyterian and Associated Churches of Christ traditions. While these origins are reflected in the congregational mix, other strands also exist. There is an increasing number of people who don't see themselves with any "label", who call themselves Christians or "uniting". With such a strong union philosophy, St Anselm's continues to be active in establishing ecumenical links with all churches.
As a Union Church, St Anselms is part of the "Uniting Congregations of Aotearoa New Zealand" (formerly the "Forum of Cooperative Ventures") and is creating its own ethos, making its own decisions and planning its own life and work.
