About
The Uniting Church came into being on 22 June 1977 after three denominations - the Congregational Union in Australia, the Methodist Church of Australasia, and the Presbyterian Church of Australia - joined together.
In uniting as one church, the members of those bodies testified to "that unity which is both Christ's gift and will for the Church" (Basis of Union, para. 1).
We’re the first church created in and of Australia and the third largest Christian denomination.
Every Sunday more than 2,000 congregations worship at a Uniting Church including many in languages other than English. Our churches can be found in the middle of our cities and in the heart of our outback towns.
Even though our congregations can be vastly different, each is a community where people seek to follow Jesus, learn about God, share their faith, care for each other, serve the local community and live faithfully with real joy.
This is the kind of engaging church that we are.
