Welcome to Gungahlin Uniting Church
Everyone is welcome as we gather as a Christian Community to worship God. Our Congregation is made up of many different people from diverse backgrounds, languages, traditions and theology and together we gather as one. At Gungahlin Uniting we usually have morning tea in the middle of worship. This week in the first half our Minister, Mark, will meet with the youth (Billabong year 6+) in the courtyard rooms. After morning tea we all meet back in the worship space to reflect on God’s word for our lives.

Thankyou…
Thank you to everyone who has supported our ministry and life as a congregation over the past month.
Thank you to the Church Council who have been working on matters of administration and finance.
Thank you to all who helped organise, prepare and welcome the wider community as we celebrated Chris Fernando’s life.
Thank you to those who led worship and took part in worship while I was on holidays.

In all of this we express our faith in Christian community and in our part in the wider community in which we live.

About GUC

We are a community on a journey. We’ve grown from a small faith community planted in Ngunnawal in the early years of Gungahlin’s development to a thriving intergenerational and multicultural community located near the Gungahlin town centre.

Gungahlin Uniting Church is an open and inclusive community.  You are welcome to join us and participate in the life of our community as we experience life, God and seek to follow the way of Christ.
