Encounter God, encounter one another, encounter the tradition.
Here at Northcote Uniting Church we are pursuing these three encounters to build life-giving, generously orthodox, Christian spiritual community. What does it mean to be Jesus’ people in this time and place?
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.

We invite you to join us as, through beautiful music, silence, and hearing the word, we are invited into the presence of God.

Now [Jesus] was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years… Luke 13:10-11
What does it mean to for us to be liberated by Jesus? What are the spirits that cripple us?
