“Building a community of Christ in the community of Willunga and beyond”
Inside our church

Together, at Willunga UCA, we’re trying to live our lives centred in Jesus. We’re humbled and inspired by the message He brought and the life He lived himself. Knowing that the love of God is available to all, no matter who we are, and that the peace and justice of God’s realm is within reach, it seems a poor choice to go on living just for ourselves.

And so we’re building, not bricks and mortar (although we’ve recently done some of that too), but community. We’re trying to strengthen the connections between people and their God, and between each other. Practically, that means we’re having a lot of fun together, but also working and praying alongside each other, and sharing the tough times too. It means acknowledging that the earth is the Lord’s, and working in the wider community as well, building with God according to plans that are far better than the ones we’ve all been stuck with previously.

Would you like to patch up a connection or two yourself? Please come and join us. You’d be very welcome. But don’t expect to meet master builders - we’re all serving apprenticeships together, but we’d be glad to have you along to share in the learning.

What Is the Season of Creation?

In the seasons of Advent, Epiphany, Lent and Easter we celebrate the life of Christ. In the season of Pentecost we celebrate the Holy Spirit. Now, in the season of Creation, we have an opportunity to celebrate God, the Creator.

For four Sundays in September, prior to St Francis of Assisi Day, we join in celebrating with Christ the wonders of creation.

In the liturgy, we follow the lead of the psalm writers and celebrate with creation — with the forests, the rivers and the fields, which praise the Creator in their own way.

Bible readings focus especially on the story of Earth, which complements the story of God and the story of humanity in the Scriptures.

We commit ourselves to a ministry of healing Earth, with Christ and creation as our partners.
