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. It is committed to justice and reconciliation between people. Through worship, sharing the story of Jesus, and service in the community we witness to the belief that life is most fully found in God.

Born in 1977, our movement is a result of the union of three older traditions - Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian. People from these three Christian traditions were captured by the vision of a new Australian Christian community, one that could better witness to Jesus by being together rather than separate. This vision was so compelling and so exciting that they were willing to leave the traditions and ways of being church they loved, to establish the Uniting Church.

So we are both old and new. We are Australian, yet we share a faith in God that is held by people throughout the world. We seek to reflect the love, care and grace of Christ as the church has sought to do for two millennia, yet in a truly Australian way.
