Welcome to Barwon Heads Uniting Church.
About our congregation
I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside is a popular British song made famous by music hall singer Mark Sheridan who first recorded it in 1909.
More than 100 years later, the sentiment remains as strong as ever when it comes to life in Barwon Heads.
This is a wonderful place to live, work and worship thanks to our generous Creator God.
Our church has served the Barwon Heads community since the 1860s, first as Methodist and Congregationalist denominations and, since Union in 1977, as the Uniting Church in Australia.
Today, the Uniting Church is active, committed and community-centred with welcoming, cheerful members of the congregation who are involved in a range of local and broader outreach endeavours.
Worship services:
- 9.00am on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month followed by morning tea and fellowship.
- On the 4th Sunday we worship at 5.00pm, followed by dinner and fellowship.
All are welcome!
From time to time, we gather with our neighbouring churches All Saints (Anglican) and Holy Family (Catholic) for ecumenical services and fellowship.
We are linked with the Ocean Grove Uniting Church and share our Minister.
