The Uniting Church

The centres are managed by Tuggeranong Uniting Church on behalf of Uniting Care which is part of the NSW synod of the Uniting Church in Australia. The Uniting Church has a long history of involvement in community care, and is one of the largest providers of child care, aged care and community welfare in Australia. In addition the church has a proud history of advocacy on social justice issues.

Locally, the Uniting Church meets at Wanniassa, and welcomes visitors and people who would like to know more about the Christian faith. Inquiries to the parish office on 6231 0488. Worship services are at 8.30 and 10.00 am every Sunday and at 5.30 pm fortnightly for a pot luck tea and a chance to meet in a more relaxed atmosphere for people wanting to learn more about what Christianity means.
