We’d love to get to know you!
Find out what goes on at Mount Waverley Uniting Church and the meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives.
Welcome
For more than 135 years, the church on the hill, the former High Street Road Uniting Church, has been a place of worship, caring and friendship, reaching out to the Mount Waverley community and beyond. Similarly, St John’s Uniting Church – the church on the plain in Virginia Street – has for more than 65 years provided a spiritual home for many people in our community, serving them with compassion and care.
The two churches officially combined and celebrated their union in early 2021. 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.At Mount Waverley Uniting Church, everyone is welcome – diversity is embraced, matters of social justice are passionately supported and it is a safe place to bring the hard questions of life and the challenges of our human existence.
To find out more about what is on offer, you can contact the Virginia Street office on Tuesday mornings 9:00 – 12:00, Wednesdays 10:00 – 2:00 or Thursdays 9:00 – 3:00 or simply explore our website further!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Seeking God’s Kingdom of love, hope, peace, justice and joy remains the compass point to which we are heading. So if you are thinking about visiting us, we understand that coming to a new church or coming to church at all, can be a bit daunting. Will I be welcome? Will I know what to do? Be assured that there will always be a friend to show you the ropes or to ensure that you are settled in a quiet space if you are seeking peace and tranquillity
Our worship transitions between traditional and contemporary and runs for about an hour. We enjoy Christian music and songs where the message is relevant to our lives and faith but where old favourites still have an important part to play. When our ministers Semisi and Duncan speak to us, they seek to uncover how the Biblical story is connected to our stories. Hence we discover how relevant the Scriptures are to our lives and the world beyond us. We have some fine musicians and drama forms an important part of our worship from time to time!
After worship we share morning tea in our Fellowship Area or in the adjacent courtyards if the weather is fine.
