Experiencing and sharing the transforming love of Jesus Christ
During the twentieth century, Port Macquarie grew from a sleepy little seaside village into a thriving city of many thousands of people. The local Uniting Church Congregation has grown and adapted with these changes and now, in the twenty-first century, occupies the large Uniting Church complex on the corner of Sherwood Road and the Oxley Highway.
The Congregation also maintains the original Wesley Chapel building (the old Methodist Church building) in Horton Street, Port Macquarie, as an important link with the past.
Coronavirus impacts
In person worship has recommenced, subject to COVID restrictions.
Currently this means masks are to be worn, only fully vaccinated people can sing (while wearing masks), and QR Code (or other check-in records) are to be used.
Online worship is available live or recorded using the Congregation's Youtube channel.
We still connect in other ways - which are subject to change under the State Government health orders. Contact us for current activities.
Resources on how to handle this pandemic are available on the National Assembly and NSW/ACT Synod websites.
