Partnering with Congregations

Serving humanity is at our heart.

As part of the Uniting Church responding to God’s Mission, the relationships we have with congregations are vital.

Uniting Church congregations deliver community services across Victoria and Tasmania

Many of these congregations partner with Uniting to strengthen their community service work.

Just a few examples are:

Early learning centres supporting young children and families
Providing accommodation for asylum seekers
Community arts programs
Providing emergency relief to people in crisis
Advocating on social justice issues.

Wesley Covenant

Uniting has a Covenant with the Wesley Church in Melbourne’s CBD, which recognises the genuine desire of both partners to have a close and meaningful relationship.

The Covenant and the overall relationship between Uniting and the Uniting Church are celebrated every year at a service held at the Wesley Church on the Sunday between 22 June, the anniversary of the creation of the Uniting Church in 1977 and 1 July, the anniversary of the creation of Uniting Vic.Tas in 2017.
