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. 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.
Heat and Fire Danger Announcement
In keeping with our Heat and Fire Danger policy, as the forecast in Tecoma is predicted to be 43 degrees and an Extreme Fire danger rating, that activates our policy (of over 40) and therefore the Church will be closed tomorrow Friday January 9th.
All activities on site will be be cancelled and the Church will be closed to the public.
The verandah will still be available for those to access The Extra Shelf (formerly Food is Free).
As per our 2026 policy, Tecoma Uniting Church buildings will also close on days of over 40, as well as days with Extreme or Catastrophic fire danger ratings.
We encourage you to take whatever action for you and your household to be safe.
We also encourage you to check on those who may be vulnerable at this time
Community Conversations
January assumes the common pattern for us at Tecoma of meeting in a more humble and conversational way over January.
Sue Townsend, as well as Di and Shakti will facilitate the space.
This will be the pattern for each of the first 3 weeks of January. The traditional Service of Mourning will then take place on January 25th.
Staff Movements
Both Carrie and Matt will be on leave from Boxing Day through until January 20th. The office phone and email will still be operational during that time so you will be able to make contact with someone if required.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas & a safe,
happy & healthy New Year
From the team at TUC
