Basis of Union

The Uniting Church was established in 1977 via the unification of three existing Australian churches: the Methodist Church of Australia, the Presbyterian Church of Australia and the Congregational Union of Australia. The founding document for the Uniting Church is known as the ‘Basis of Union’ and it outlines the fundamental beliefs and structure of our church.
