I'm New Here

Maybe you are returning to church, or coming to church for the very first time. You are very welcome to join us in any of our services but you may find it helpful to look at the different services we have each week to see which of them appeals to you most.

We want you to know that we welcome all people, young or old, single or married, with or without children.

Going anywhere for the first time can make us feel a bit uneasy, so here are a few tips to help you when you visit Terrigal Uniting Church:

  • feel free to come dressed casually or smartly. We have no dress code - whatever makes you comfortable is great with us;
  • sit anywhere you like;
  • if you have children, then be assured that they are very welcome here and we try our best to include them in as many activities as possible.  There are special activities for children during the Sunday 9.45am family service (you might also like to consider the more informal structure of the Saturday 6pm service). And don’t worry if your toddler becomes restless - we have a sound-proof Cry Room for restless toddlers which allows parents to still hear the service;
  • we are not after your money. Although a voluntary collection will be taken, guests are encouraged to enjoy their visit to us without any obligation to give.

What we believe

We are part of the Uniting Church in Australia. The Uniting Church confidently believes that through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God brings us into right relationship with God, so that in faith we can:

  •  live in a close, loving, personal, and vibrant relationship with the living God;
  • participate in a 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, and eternal;
  • tell others of this good news and live it out in acts of compassion, service and justice in the community.

We also believe that:

  • Jesus Christ loves everyone without condition;
  • He wants to share our lives with us to make them better;
  • We ourselves are no better than anyone else;
  • We must look after each other;
  • We must try to help people everywhere find God's peace and fulfilment in their lives.

Getting involved

One of the best ways to meet people at our church is by volunteering!  If you to choose to make Terrigal Uniting Church your spiritual home we have many options for you to get involved from serving as an usher or greeter to helping out with grounds and building maintenance.
