About Us
Who Are We?
We are a multi-generational and multicultural group of people seeking to live out God’s love in the world as we enrich our commitment to following Jesus, as ordinary people, but as pilgrims together.
Through all of life’s challenges, we support one another guided by a faith that is not afraid to reason and learn; a faith that appreciates the breadth and depth of past and present lived faith experiences.
We prayerfully rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We strive to live out God’s gracious gospel of Jesus as we explore the challenges of justice and peace in our world.
We have a focus on creating a safe, inclusive environment for everyone.
As our sign in the top car park says - All are welcome!
If you are thinking of dropping in, we would love you to join us.
Some History
The Uniting Church was formed in 1977 when the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches joined together to form a single church. Our religion has a large influence on our values, the way we live and the way we support the local community.
Our congregation began in 1973, meeting in the Melba Primary School initially with the Anglican Church. We moved into our own building off Conley Drive in 1990.
Are we like other churches? Unlike the Anglican or Catholic churches, we do not have bishops, archbishops or a pope. Members of the congregations have a much larger say in what the church does and how it interacts with the community, more in contact with ordinary people and with more of a "down-to-earth" attitude to Christian life.
We support relationships with other churches, working together for a common purpose.
What happens in a church service? It lasts for about one hour and includes singing some songs, bible reading, an address usually from our minister, and refreshments after. We are neither ritualistic nor charismatic. We want people to feel welcome and do not exclude people because of differences in faith. All are welcome.
