Join us each Sunday
as we
reflect, learn and celebrate.
The Bangalow Uniting Church, led by Rev Phil Dokmanovic, meet each week in Station Street, Bangalow.
We are a small, inclusive and caring congregation of all ages.
We are a friendly bunch, always open to newcomers, whatever your walk in life. We only worship together once a week but we are involved in the community in many ways- some overtly Christian, and some just caring or social. Our worship times can be quite traditional or sometimes rather modern, we don’t mind changing it up a bit! There is always a bit of chat; an ear if you need one and a smile for everyone.
We hope to meet you at worship, a special event, service project, or around the community!
We gather to worship most weeks at Byron Bay (9.30am) and Bangalow (5pm). If you are interested in joining us please contact us via the "Contact us" tab above to confirm our meeting times for that week.
Our church in Byron Bay is open at the following times:
Open Church: Tuesday 9:30am-11:30am Byron Bay UCA (On a pause until Feb 2023)
Rev Phil will be present along with a volunteer who can offer a cuppa and something to eat. The space is available for a chat, prayer, meditation or reflection. This is also a time when anyone from our church community can drop in to say hi to their minister as well! So if you want to stop in and say hello or to chat or pray, please do so.
We hope to see you there over the next few weeks.
After 6 months of not gathering in our buildings for worship due to COVID-19, the Church Councils of the Byron Shire Uniting Churches have both decided that it is time to regather for worship in our buildings. Over recent months the Councils have been preparing COVIDSafe plans and considering advice from our NSW/ACT Synod leaders as we have journeyed towards re-gathering. Due to the current protocols and requirements for public gatherings for worship, our gatherings will look and feel different to pre-COVID-19, so please familiarise yourself with the requirements before joining us in our buildings for gathered worship (these are included in this link).
For those not yet ready to return to gatherings in our buildings and for those who are ill or presenting with COVID-type symptoms, we will seek to continue to post a recording of weekly gatherings on our Facebook pages for you to access. Thank you for your patience and encouragement during this unusual season and we look forward to gathering together for worship in our buildings again. This information will be posted out to those who do not access online information, but feel free to share these details with those you connect with this week.
During periods of lockdown services will be recorded and can be viewed at the following links.

*** Currently on a break ***
Food Box
Food Box is continuing to operate from Mullumbimby Church on Thursdays 9:30am-11:30am, following strict infection control protocols set out by the Synod.
Daily Office *** Currently on a break ***
Daily Office 9am & 3pm each weekday. A 10 minute time of prayer and contemplation led by Rev Phil and live streamed on the Brunswick Valley Uniting Church Facebook page.
On the 1st AND 3rd WednesdayS of the month, Greer will be facilitating a new ministry in the Bruns space that will be an intentional time for embodied spirituality. Using the InterPlay forms (no experience necessary), all who come will be invited to explore and play with their experience and expression of spirituality, in and through our bodies. We will dance, move, sing, voice, tell, and play, on our own and with others, not as performance but as process. This will be an intentionally open and inclusive space, celebrating diverse expressions of age, culture, sexuality, gender, physical-ability, denomination and faith. All are welcome!
Bangalow Church ran a poster competition for local school children and donated prizes. The posters created by the children were displayed in shops all around Bangalow, and on the side of the Church for Fair Trade Fortnight.
Even thought Fairtrade Fortnight has finished for this year we hope that next time you shop, you will look for the Fairtrade Mark and remove the shadow of doubt about where your groceries came from.
The next Fairtrade event will be the Fair Trade Fair in Bangalow on 3 November.
A huge thank you to everyone who gave so generously throughout the week long drought appeal. The combined total from the Byron Bay Op Shop, the Market Day at the Mullumbimby Op Shop, and the offerings at all churches on Sunday 19th August means that we will be contributing over $7000 toward the Farmers Drought Appeal.
