Eltham Montmorency Uniting Church is a community of faith, seeking to follow Jesus and to share God’s love by caring and serving. Our members are of all ages and abilities.
Our vision is to be a presence of Jesus in the community. We do this through our Op Shop, and also by the hospitality and welcome that we offer to people who attend our activities. Members of our congregation are actively involved in local community groups such as Reconciliation, Oxfam, Refugee Support, CAVE and Amnesty International.
