Welcome...

We are a community of faith seeking to live out the radical good news of Jesus.

We open up our land, buildings and resources in the heart of town with the hope of creating a ‘meeting place’ for people of diverse backgrounds.

Despite some of the news headlines about our town we believe that everyone has a gift and that we are placed in the heart of Alice Springs to be:

  • A welcoming sanctuary for travellers;
  • A reconciling community
  • A people caring for others;

In the name of Christ.

 

We meet on Sundays @ 9.30am.

Join us every Sunday for our weekly intergenerational 9:30am service.

There is a program for kids and our community and visitors gather together for morning tea afterwards.

About Us

Rev. Emily Hayes

The Alice Springs Uniting Church worships on the lands of the Arrernte people, the lands they call Mparntwe. Through this land God has nurtured and sustained them for some 50,000 years.


We are located in the heart of town in the John Flynn Memorial Church building. Grateful to those who went before us, we seek the Kingdom of God in this time and place.

 

We are a proudly intergenerational, multicultural and affirming church. We have Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and languages sharing in ministry together. We are a safe church for all no matter their age, race, gender sexuality or where they are in life or faith.

 

We value the deep stillness of the land in which we live. We allow the creation and the community of which we are a part to shape our discipleship.

 

Justice, sustainability, reconciliation, and equality are key expressions of the holistic faith we seek to nurture in each other, and in the wider community which we serve.

If anyone is looking for a good gift idea for Christmas, check out To Forgive, Divine. Readers from 25 - 85 (literally!) have written great reviews for it. To Forgive, Divine is Christian fiction, so it’s free of sex and bad language. BUT even non-Christians enjoy the story - it’s full of likable, memorable characters and lots of action and intrigue to keep the pages turning! And the best part is that the Gospel message is shared and one of the characters accepts Jesus as her Savior! So, great gift idea for mom or dad or even the grandparents! If you have any single adults in your life, they would would love the story! Almost all of the characters are single and they participate in a church Singles group - right up their alley! To Forgive, Divine is available on Barnes and Noble, Amazon and anywhere books are sold online.

"In 1967 an overwhelming Yes for Aborigines allowed the Commonwealth to make laws for Indigenous Australians. In 2023 a majority Yes would constitutionally enshrine an Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander Voice to advise on those laws. This is a matter of long overdue recognition.

Please join us for this special FREE SCREENING of a documentary about 1967 by Aboriginal filmmaker Frances Peters-Little.
