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 still also maintains the historic Wesley Chapel building (the old Methodist Church building) in Horton Street, Port Macquarie, as an important link with the past.

Coronavirus impacts

Limited physical worship or other gatherings at present - see below.
