Ashburton Uniting

Ashburton Uniting is a vibrant Christian community composed mainly of families and retired folk. New people continually arrive and so our church community is a work in progress. We would love to have you join us.

Worship

Our worship is a blend of contemporary and traditional. And every third Sunday of the month we go exploring with our Adventures in Worship. About Us Our worship is often enriched by banners and thought provoking artwork. Christian Resources

Adult Ministry

We get together in a variety of social groups that meet at breakfast, lunch, dinner and in the evening. We have a special annual ‘Weekend Away’ for all ages that deepens our community life. We are also committed to developing our faith and supporting each other in living it out, through daytime and nighttime Faith Sharing groups. Adult Ministry

Children and Families

We help our Children grow through our Children and Families ministry. Ashy Kids Alive (AKA) our Sunday school from crèche to Year 9, and KidZone is a joint group with Burwood Uniting for children in Grade 3-6. We run an Advent Program for the wider community late in the year for those who want their primary school age children to learn about the original Christian stories of Christmas. During the week we also run several Playgroups.

Youth

Our youth meet in a faith-sharing group called GRIP for Year 9 to early University ages. We have joined with young people from St Luke’s Mt Waverley. This has led to us starting up JYGZ, a new group for Year 7 to 9 youth. Youth

Serving the Community

We are Serving the Community in several ways. We run a community house 111 for independent living for people with mild intellectual disabilities. We also support the Asylum Seekers Project which provides housing and support for those people waiting to be given refugee status by the government.
