Armidale Uniting Church
Something for everyone
Looking for worship which is contemporary, traditional, or somewhere in between? One of our four Sunday services is sure to provide what you want.
Want to be actively involved or just sit back and take it all in? Either way, you’re welcome.
A range of weekday activities provides people of all ages and stages with opportunities to be involved both as participants and as leaders. Singles, couples and families will find activities to interest them.

Options on Sundays . . . .
Are you looking for:
Small congregation, plenty of opportunity for discussion, Holy Communion each week, early start? - The 8.00 am service is probably for you.
Large congregation, traditional style, family-friendly, congregational involvement? - Try the 9.30 am service and see how it feels. Fairly formal, but with use of modern music and involvement of congregational members in various parts of the service. Sunday School is offered in conjunction with this service during school term time for preschoolers and school aged young people.
Contemporary, informal, varied? - try the 7 pm service to see if it fits. This service happens only on the third Sunday of each month. If you sing, play an instrument or have gifts visual arts or the ability to produce PowerPoint slideshows, we can put your gifts to good use. If you just want to be part of a different way of worshipping God, you’ll be warmly welcomed, too. Stay for supper afterwards and get to know us better.
. . . and during the week
For information Bible Studies and other groups - contact the church office or the minister for information about activities in town, Judy Redman for information about activities on campus. A particular feature of Armidale UCA is the "Uniting Interests" series during which members of the congregation who have expertise in a particular area share their skills with others. Past topics have included astronomy, sketching, cuts of meat, photography and scrap booking. In 2006, the church also plans to begin small groups for social activities, support and community building based on the Passionist Family Group programme. Despite the name, these groups are open to anyone who is interested - you do not have to be part of a traditional nuclear family.
Interested in finding out more about Christianity over a meal? - The church conducts Alpha courses on a regular basis. Again, the details are available from the church office.
