A Brief Introduction to Templestowe Uniting Church Congregation

We come from a variety of backgrounds including the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches which formed the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977. Some of us came from other traditions and some have no recent church background. There is a strong emphasis on biblical teaching, spirituality, fellowship, care for the environment and eco-theology. Some of us have views aligned generally with tPhoto of original churchhose of the progressive Christianity movement, some do not.

This congregation was established in 1895 by the Presbyterian Church and served a small rural community until about 1960 when it grew rapidly, called its own Minister and built a new church, in which we worship today. We still conserve the original church built in 1896.

 

 

We worship God in ways which are meaningful today while drawing on the riches of the varied traditions. Sunday morning worship is usually in a welcoming all ages service. Members have many opportunities to participate and to grow in their understanding of Christian values and commitment.

There is a wide range of special-interest activities for people of all ages. Some enable people to grow through sharing, prayer, bible study and community service. Others assist confidence building, develop skills, entertain and enhance friendships.
