We follow Jesus.
We are inspired by Jesus’ vision for a world made new, a world where justice and compassion, especially for the marginalised and disadvantaged, are the key values and priorities.
He acted with great courage, vehemently opposing the forces of oppression and exploitation. He acted for peace, not by ignoring injustice, but making peace through promoting justice for all. This ultimately led to the powers-that-be plotting his death. Nevertheless, he has risen to be followed by millions through the centuries.
In Jesus’ love, compassion and action we gain a window into the heart of God. The Spririt of Jesus sustains us in our own discipleship.
Every Sunday morning, we say these words: “We name this church as a safe place for all to worship, regardless of age, ability, gender, race, sexuality, or cultural background. We acknowledge with gratitude the Yagera and Turrbul peoples, the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather for worship.”, and welcome EVERYONE to celebrate Communion with us.

We affirm and celebrate the place of LGBTIQ people in the church, and welcome the decision of the Uniting Church Assembly to allow same-sex marriages to be celebrated in Uniting Churches.
Following Jesus commits us to:
deepening our spirituality through relationship with the mystery enlivening all that is, whom we refer to as “God”
acknowledging and respecting the Jagera and Turrbal people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather
calling for justice in local, national and international affairs
linking with and serving the local community, especially those who are marginalised
seeking the well-being of the local community.
We are committed to the safety of all participants, especially children. We are therefore committed to the Safe Church program. See safechurch.uca.org.au.
We are a Fair Trade Faith Community.
