We have returned to worship as a community in our church, and would be pleased to welcome you. If you would like to join us on zoom, please contact us through email address below. Alternatively, you can worship at your own time on Sunday, using the provided Order of Service and Sermon.
Worship is at the heart of Christian community; worship in contemporary language that is joyful, relevant and reflects the long traditions of the church. We embrace both traditional and new ways and times of worship.
Please be aware that our worship service is open to all. Face masks are not mandatory but may be worn, if you wish. (click here to view our COVID-19 policy)

The main service for the week includes prayer, scripture reading, a relevant message and joyful singing led by the choir and pipe organ. Members of the congregation participate in leading aspects of the service. All are welcome to attend.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of the month. We practice an open table and welcome all people.
There are many styles of worship. This quarterly all age service offers a way for everyone to connect with the themes and ideas of the day in small activity groups. These groups create items for use in future services.
This informal midweek service examines the text and examines ourselvesre through conversation about the day’s scripture and prayers. Come and join us. This is a great way to begin the day or connect with God in the midst of a busy week. Our gathering is often via Zoom and sometimes in person. Either method allows us to enjoy coffee or tea and a friendly chat afterwards.
Our MInister will happily provide you with details and materials for use each week. minister@highfieldroadcanterburyuc.org.au
Sunday worship includes time for children, sometimes with ‘Godly Play’, then the children move to Sunday School. The program uses the UCA’s ‘Seasons of the Spirit’. As our young folk mature and grow in faith their discussions become more discerning and enriching.
There is also a Sunday Service for the Christian Orthodox Church Saint Filoteea from Arges. An Orthodox Parish under the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate with the mission of catering for the spiritual needs of the Romanian diaspora in Australia and facilitate the access to the Christian way of life to all interested, regardless of ethnicity. Our aim is to imitate Christ in our daily lives, and become united with Him through communion with the Holy Sacraments in the Holy Liturgy which is celebrated every Sunday from 11.30 a.m. in Romanian and English.
