Our Story
The Meeting Place rests on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people, who have recognised Spirit in this place for generations upon generations. They have cared for Country, and imbued it with story. At the hands of second peoples, they have been dispossessed. Together, we commit ourselves to working towards reconciliation, and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples about how to live well on Country.
"130 years ago on the evening of Sunday 13th July 1890, a disused hay and corn story in Murrumbeena was the site of the first Presbyterian Worship Service in the district. A little wooden Church was erected by..."
What is the Uniting Church?
Murrumbeena Uniting Church is a congregation of the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). The UCA was formed in 1977 by the coming together of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches. The missional and ecumenical vision of the UCA is beautifully articulated in the Basis of Union, a brief document you can read below.
The theological heritage of the UCA is both reformed and evangelical, with John Wesley's sermons, the Apostles' Creed, and the Westminster Confession amongst its confessional documents.
The UCA is committed to walking as First and Second Peoples, acknowledging Australia's painful history and actively seeking reconciliation for all peoples. The UCA is a uniquely Australian church with more than 2000 congregations, social welfare agencies and iconic ministries like Frontier Services, which serves remote and rural families and communities.
We are a part of the Port Phillip East Presbytery in the Synod of Victora/Tasmania.
