Uniting Church
The Uniting Church is the third largest Christian denomination in Australia and the first church to be created in and of Australia. In 1977, three Australian Christian denominations joined to form the Uniting Church in Australia. After many years of prayerful discernment, the Congregational Union in Australia, the Methodist Church in Australasia and the Presbyterian Church of Australia came together in the hope that they would ”bear witness to that unity, which is both Christ’s gift and will for the church.”
OUR VISION⸻

OUR History⸻
OUR BELIEFS ⸻
St. Margaret’s Church was established within that background. We believe that through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God brings us into right relationship with God, whereby in faith we can -- live in a close, loving, personal, dynamic relationship with the living God;
- participate in the worshipping, caring and serving community of Christians;
- receive God’s gifts so that life can be what God means it to be - loving, purposeful, joyful, eternal;
- tell others of this good news and live it out in acts of compassion, service and justice in the community.
