Who We Are
The Uniting Church is an Australian Christian movement.
It shares with Australian people in search for meaning,
purpose and community in life.
Justice and Community Services
Our social justice advocacy work and community welfare
services express our belief that God is committed to life
now. It is our response to the Bible's call to care for and
protect the marginalised and vulnerable.
Frontiers
Another clear focus of the Uniting Church in Australia
is its vast work and presence in remote and outback
Australia. This is particularly true of Frontier Services
personnel and our rural congregations.
International
Although we are truly Australian, we have an
international conscience particularly for people struggling
in developing world situations. Our international mission
personnel help us to share our faith on a global basis.
In The Spirit Of Uniting
We are committed to dialogue and cooperation with other
churches. We are willing to explore the implications of
being in a community with people of many faiths. We accept
women and men as equals in ministry.
Our Congregations
Uniting Church congregations throughout the country are
caring communities to which all people can belong. There are
more than 2,200 of these with 243,000 members and adherents.
A Vision For The Future
On the 22nd June 2002, we celebrated 25 years of mission
and ministry in the Australian community. There is so much
to give thanks for and to be excited about.
A Mission Statement
As a people journeying together we affirm our calling
under God to preach Christ the risen crucified one and
confess him as Lord. |
