Welcome

Wominjeka. Welcome. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Wurundjeri 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.

Located in the Hills, committed to serving our local community, in part through The Extra Shelf. At our heart is the wisdom and teachings of Jesus which include deep listening, compassion, hospitality, justice and loving one another, especially marginalised people.

Comfortable with all faiths/denominations and gender diversity. Collaborative and intergenerational. Friendly, and understanding, exploring spirituality and contemplation, evolving, and changing. Connected to and conversing with our community, offering marginalised people a place to feel safe. Grounded in Justice, thinking outside the square.

You’re welcome to call us on (03) 9754 2177,  contact us via email,  follow us on Facebook,  have a look around our website or come and visit us at 1566 Burwood Highway, Tecoma.

Easter

We have just come through a memorable Easter journey! Thank you to all those who contributed. It was a year of high levels of collaboration to make it all happen.

A huge thank you must go to Pauline for overseeing our vine mandala and for all the artists who contributed; Samuel, Karen, Charlie, Gail, Rachelle and others. There were many others too who helped with our Palm Sunday extravaganza and our Good Friday and Sunday services.

This week, we move into the Season of Easter – unpacking what it means to live as resurrection people.

Following the success of our Church Camp at Toolangi in 2025, we are excited to announce the dates for our 2026 camp, also to be held at Toolangi Campsite. So, (drumroll………) SAVE THE DATE! for the weekend of 9-11 October 2026!
Also, the Camp Committee wishes to invite any interested members from our church community to join us in planning and helping to facilitate aspects of the weekend. We are three members down this year, with Barb, Jackson and Miller taking a break from the committee, so we need new and diverse voices!! There’s not a huge time commitment and the planning meetings are lots of fun!
Do you have a bright idea you’d like to share or feel passionate about building our community and having a great weekend away, please speak with Sue T, Carrie or Ali if you are interested in joining us! Or email Carrie on carrie@tecomauc.org.au for more information.
