Ipswich Uniting Church is a vibrant, multi-generational community committed to following Jesus and being transformed by him. Every Sunday, we come together to worship, find encouragement, and enjoy one another’s company. Throughout the week, we connect in small groups and fellowship, experiencing deep care and a shared desire to explore the way of Jesus.

With an open invitation, there’s always room for more people to be intrigued by the gospel and how our lives can be shaped by the message of Jesus.

Our Mission

Growing together and reaching out to make disciples of Christ

Our Vision

To be a church of growth: living our values in a way that sees us grow in discipleship, faith, mission, size, and influence in order to preach the gospel in Ipswich and the world. Relying fully on God’s grace, we will grow together in every way that God calls us.

Future Focused
We seek God’s future plans and purposes, grateful that God has led us to this point. Inspired by the Spirit we press forward.

Relational
We build relationships with God, each other and those around to encourage one another in our discipleship.

Grace Filled
We are transformed by the unearned forgiveness and reconciliation given to us in Christ and we show that grace to others.

Inclusive
We are blessed by God’s diversity and will be a church where all belong and grow in relationship with Jesus.

Justice Oriented
We are committed, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to aligning ourselves with the heart of God as we continually work towards restoration and justice for people and all of creation.

Innovative
We are open to the limitless possibilities of the Holy Spirit as we share the timeless story of God in a relevant way for our changing context.
