South Port Uniting Church Parish Mission
South Port Uniting Church Parish Mission is a Uniting congregation based in South Melbourne, VIC.
Formed in 1977 by the union of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational traditions, the Uniting Church in Australia has developed a distinctive identity shaped by its Reformed, Wesleyan, and Congregationalist heritage. The church emphasises the priesthood of all believers, the authority of Scripture, and the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church. Services are generally accessible and welcoming, and a strong emphasis on social justice shapes the church's engagement with issues of poverty, homelessness, and reconciliation with First Nations peoples. The Uniting Church in Victoria is among the denomination's most active, operating major social service organisations alongside its local congregations. Governance is collegial: decisions are made through councils of ministers and lay people at local, presbyteral, and assembly levels. Congregations vary widely in worship style, size, and cultural composition.
The congregation in South Melbourne forms part of a wider network of faith communities across the region. Enquiries are welcome by phone on 0396901188.
