When the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches joined to form the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, the Grantham Heights Methodist Church became the Grantham heights Uniting Church. On the 13th June 1982, the church building was destroyed by fire. The church was rebuilt and the current church facilities were opened on the 10th December 1983.
Like all groups of people, the Grantham Heights congregation has gone through significant changes over the years of its existence. Only a few of the original members are still part of the congregation. Some have moved geographically, some older members have passed on, new people have joined. Worship services look different today than they did 30 odd years ago. But in the midst of the change there are 3 things that have stayed the same:
- A strong commitment to the people of the local community.
- A belief that the Christian faith offers meaning and hope in a world that is less than it should be.
- A striving to be relevant in a changing world.
If you are interested in being part of the ongoing history of a community of faith committed to helping a hurting world this may just be the place for you.
