Gloucester Uniting Church

About

Uniting Church is your uniquely Australian Church In 1977 three Australian Christian denominations joined to form the Uniting Church in Australia. After many years of prayerful discernment, the Congregational Union in Australia, the Methodist Church of Australasia and the Presbyterian Church of Australia came together in the hope that they would “bear witness to that unity which is both Christ’s gift and will for the Church”. Our founding document The Basis of Union set out a way of living and being as a church freed from the divisions of the past. Uniting Church members are encouraged to participate in God’s mission for the world because: “God in Christ has given to all people in the Church the Holy Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of the coming reconciliation and renewal which is the end in view for the whole creation.” (Basis of Union, paragraph 3)
