Encounter God, encounter one another, encounter the tradition.
Welcome to Northcote Uniting Church
Here at Northcote Uniting Church, we are pursuing encounter with God, one another, and the Christian tradition to build life-giving, generously orthodox, Christian spiritual community. The question that motivates our community is: What does it mean to be Jesus’ people in this time and place? We update our resources page from time to time with things that help explain what we are on about.
We are an open and affirming church.
Regular Spiritual Community
Tuesday Gathering:
Every Tuesday, we gather at 7-9:15 pm . We talk, we eat and drink, we pray, we study the Bible together. We are affirming, life-transforming, Spiritual community for one another, seeking to be a blessing in and to Northcote, devoted to the question of what the Gospel means in our context. On the third Tuesday we have a shared meal together, followed by communion.
Taizé Prayer: On the first Saturday of the month (except January) we host a Taizé prayer. Singing. Silence. Pizza . And often trombones! Taizé is an ecumenical community in eastern France, where thousands of young people gather every year. It has developed a unique way of worshipping & praying together. You can read more about it here.
The Choir and The Evensong Initiative:
Our choir practices every Wednesday during term times at 7:30pm. No experience required, all levels welcome! Four times a year, we will drink deep from the wells of Christian Spirituality with our Evensong service.
Rev. Alister, our minister, has a blog. It will help to explain the sort of place we are.
Stay in the Loop!
We’d love to keep you updated with our various doings! You can sign up for our email list here.

Upcoming Regular Events at Northcote Uniting Church
The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and shouting. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, the majesty of our God. Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, do not fear! Here is your God!” Isaiah 35:1-4a
In troubled times, how do we hold onto hope? How do we strengthen our weak hands and firm up our feeble knees?
