All are welcome to our worship services on Sundays commencing at 9.30am in the church.   

Morning tea will follow the service. If you are visiting or are new we would love to meet you. Please introduce yourself, join us for a cuppa and learn more about Manning UC.

The mainspring of our vision at Manning Uniting Church remains connecting.

  • We ALL have a part to play in ensuring that we keep each other connected and in good spirits. Let’s commit to calling someone from church (and beyond) each day – especially those on the ‘margins’.
  • If you feel vulnerable out in the community and would like food or medical supplies delivered – or help in any way – please let us know.

If you're in need of pastoral support or prayer, please contact us.

What a great response UCAN* has had from Uniting Church congregations taking up their offer of climate action banners, with a choice of five different messages.  This demand demonstrates the strong concern that Uniting Church members have about taking positive action on climate and caring for creation.

The message on the climate action banner our church is displaying on the walkway between Albert St and Manning Mall is ‘Killing the Planet is Against Our Religion’.
