Woden Valley Uniting Church

The Woden Valley Uniting Church, Curtin is part of the Canberra Region Presbytery and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. “Our story. The Woden Valley Uniting Church commenced on 14 February 2021 when the two congregations of South Woden and St James joined together. Their mission is to be a welcoming, inclusive, progressive and outward looking Christian community that nurtures spirituality and faith and encourages service. St James originated as a Presbyterian congregation in 1964 and partnered with the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd at Curtin for many years. It developed a keen interest in progressive theology and services to and links with the local community. South Woden had formed in 1967 as a ‘church without walls’ where the church is the people not the building. Members went out into the community to be the face and hands of God in the world with a strong emphasis on caring for each other and on social justice. Because both congregations were now smaller and older than in earlier times in their history, in 2019 the two congregations decided to join together.” [Sourced from:https://woden-valley.uca.org.au/media/14260/wvuc-mission-plan-final-003-jk.pdf ].
