At Northcote Uniting Church we are committed to transformative spiritual community in the heart of Melbourne’s Northcote. We are an open and affirming church.
Regular Spiritual Community
We have two regular spiritual communities.
Tuesday Gathering: Every Tuesday, we gather at 7-9:15pm . We talk, we eat and drink, we pray, we study the Bible together. We are affirming, life-transforming, 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. Once a month we have a reflective communion together. Read more about that here.
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.
Rev. Alister, our minister, has a blog. It will help to explain the sort of place we are.
Chalice
What happened to Chalice, you might ask? Since a new congregation has re-planted the church, we felt that a new name was required to explain who we are and what we are about. So, we have retired the name Chalice and opted for Northcote Uniting Church.
Structural Damage to the Church Building
As of Friday 28/4/23 the main part of the church building is closed due to structural problems. The hall is still in use, as are the office and the toilet in the church. You can read more about it here.
