Worshipping Together

48th Anniversary of The Uniting Church in Australia

On Sunday 22nd June 2025, we celebrated the Anniversary of the Uniting Church in Australia. We were fortunate to host a wonderfully uplifting service of combined worship, joining with the communities of St. Luke’s Mount Waverley and the Melbourne Fijian Uniting Church. We were treated to some wonderful music, especially the roof-raising voices of the Fijian choir – always so uplifting.

Final Service at High Street Road

On Sunday 27 May 2025, we held our final Worship Service at our High Street Road site. After more than 135 years as a centre for worship in the Mount Waverley area, the doors have officially been closed and the building decommissioned as a place of worship. Our final service was one of thanksgiving as we remembered all we had shared – the history, fellowship, service and outreach; the wonderful spirit of community.

There was sadness of course, as we gathered together to say farewell, but also a feeling of joyful anticipation as we re-establish our joined congregations in our future home at Virginia Street, Mount Waverley. Our services re-commenced there on Sunday, 4th May 2025, following the completion of renovations.

No matter where we worship, we welcome all who come through our doors and look forward to seeing you here.

Details of our worship times and locations can be found here.
