UnitingWorld is an agency of the National Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia with a charter to stand in solidarity with our Church Partners in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

UnitingWorld is the Uniting Church in Australia’s agent for purposeful, effective partnerships between churches and communities worldwide.

Churches and individuals look to UnitingWorld for meaningful connection with partners, which informs and invigorates their approach to mission. It’s also about standing alongside people who are marginalised, listening carefully and adding to their voice.

Genuine, deep relationships undergird all activity with responsible, long-term engagement paramount. It’s all in a bid to see transformed local communities where peace and justice reign, pointing people to hope and life in Jesus Christ.
