Celebrating 160 years of Worship and Service in 2025

Welcome

Welcome to the website of Wesley Uniting Church Kent Town.

We seek to be an accepting, inclusive community of love, care and faith.  We honour and accept the diversity reflected in our congregation and offer everyone the freedom to explore and deepen their faith as we worship, reflect on scripture and grow in our understanding of Christian discipleship.

No matter who we are or where we are on life’s journey, the mission of our congregation is to share God’s love in a spirit of openness and acceptance, reaching out to the people in our Church, our neighbourhood and beyond.

Worship

We invite you to worship with us at 10:00am any Sunday morning. Worship at Wesley is shaped by a traditional liturgy with a contemporary focus.  Choral music, pertinent preaching and generous hospitality are key elements in each service.  Our services are enriched by the music of a substantial pipe organ, the historic architecture and beautiful stained glass windows.  The building can accommodate 1100 people.  You will find our many events on our calendar.

Community Outreach

In line with our mission of reaching out to people in the community, Wesley Uniting Church has developed several outreach ventures in recent years. These include:

• a weekly Community Morning Tea every Wednesday
• a Community Shed which is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays
• the Quiet Centre which is a reflective, mediative experience in the church every Wednesday

See calendar for further details.
