 History
Leichhardt Uniting Church Parish
Mission has a long and proud 125 year history of serving the people of the
Leichhardt municipality and beyond. In the past it has been a central mission
church; linked at different times to various congregations including
Lilyfield, Annandale, Camperdown and Petersham. In the 1950s the homes for
the aged were established as a mission outreach. These became the major part
of what is now Uniting Care Ageing Sydney Region. In 2002 LUCAN CARE (as it
was then known) became a separate entity to the church, allowing each to
better focus on their core goals and activities. Today the Leichhardt Mission
is responsible for the running of the church and for activities held in
Martin hall during week days and weekends and for the upkeep of Epworth house
student hostel which is next to the church at 5 Wetherill St.
Mission statement
We seek to become a growing, inclusive
and welcoming church in which our common life is held together by our love,
worship, witness and service for God. We worship God the Holy Trinity whom we
recognise as Creator, Redeemer and life-giving Spirit.
We wish to hear and respond to
God’s urgent call to faithful Christian living and to claim God’s just and
peaceful word of abundant life and everlasting hope. We long for a fully
renewed creation. We recognise that this is God’s work, but that we are also
called to share in it as co-workers with Christ. We commit ourselves to this
work, God being our helper.
