Welcome
Wominjeka. Welcome. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Wurrundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge our gratitude that we share this land, our sorrow for some of the costs of that sharing and our collective hope and belief that we can move to a place of equity, justice and partnership together.
We are located in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges in the village of Tecoma. We are a Christian Church devoted to serving our local community. You’re welcome to have a look around our website or come and visit us.
Worship services are held every Sunday at 10am, 1566 Burwood Highway, Tecoma.

Invitation to join us for Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner
Come and celebrate Shrove Tuesday with us and help support the work of Uniting. 5pm – 7:15pm at the church. We’ll have a selection of savoury and sweet pancakes will be available for $5 per person, $10 per family.
Funds raised from Pancake Day are used by Uniting Vic. Tas to help some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our communities.
These range from emergency relief for families facing food crisis, to supporting homeless people into permanent accommodation; from finding work for people with disability to supporting an older person to live independently in their own home.
Some helpful information in response the current Bushfire Crisis
As part of the Uniting Church response Uniting Vic/Tas is already engaged in many areas where the bushfires have struck and will continue be part of the response and recovery effort for the months ahead. To help meet gaps already identified and to enable longer term relief and recovery they have launched a Uniting Bushfire Appeal, which we urge you to support.
You can find the appeal at
Uniting Church Appeal or call 1800 668 426.
