Welcome to Gungahlin Uniting Church
Gungahlin Uniting Church is a Christian Community for all people. All people irrespective of age, nationality, theology, tradition or way of life are welcome as we seek to nurture faith and be about the way of Christ. Each week we usually have morning tea in the middle of worship followed by Oasis for primary aged children and Billabong for our youth. In the main worship space after morning tea there are readings and a message and a time of prayer for others. This is the way we usually gather over any month…

Worship all together with communion followed by morning tea and BBQ lunch. - 3rd. Sunday of the month
