For thousands of years Indigenous people have walked on this land. Their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives. We acknowledge the Kaurna and Peramangk Peoples and their stewardship of this land, throughout the ages. We pay our respect to their elders, past, present and emerging. May Bridgewater Uniting Community be a safe place to gather for people in all their diversity
What to Expect
You are welcome here. Yes, you. Whether you love God a lot, a little, or you are still figuring out what faith is all about, you belong.
On the first Sunday of each month we usually celebrate Communion. The Uniting Church shares an open table, which means anyone is welcome to take part. This year, our first-Sunday services are also exploring the Beatitudes, digging into their deep wisdom and what they mean for everyday life. These services have an all-age focus so children can engage too.
On the third Sunday of each month, kids are invited to head out during the sermon for their own time to learn more about faith in a way that is meaningful for them.
Every Sunday you will find people of all ages together. Our interior has a modern feel, with spaces set aside for families with kids, and simple activities children can join in with during the service. If a part of the service is not so engaging for them, there are available options to help. We usually have one or two singers to lead worship, with a mix of music styles, messages, and interactive moments. We are not fussed by kids being kids. You are all welcome here.
