Timber Church finally came to rest in its new location. Its relocation has taken a much longer time than planned due to delays in obtaining necessary approvals for preliminary works around it. Delay to the overall completion date has been avoided by allowing the Contractor early access to the rest of the site. The retaining wall along the western boundary has been completed. Bulk earthworks is nearing completion and detailed excavation for footings and below ground services is underway.

We saw it move into the carpark a few months ago. Now we’re seeing it move to its new position – closer to Atkinson St.

MUC believes that Jesus walked with love in the world as one of the world; and showed us that God can be found in every face and interaction. If we…

As published in Manningham Leader, 12 August 2019 By Andrew Rogersandrew.rogers@news.com.au A house of worship for four Uniting Church congregations to call home is being built in Templestowe. Parishioners at Doncaster, Doncaster East, Templestowe and Box Hill North agreed to a merger in 2012, forming the Manningham Uniting Church. But without a suitable central location worshippers continued to attend services at each church. The Uniting Church has now sold their Doncaster and Doncaster East properties, with the Box Hill North…

What might be the outcomes and relationships that flow from the Manningham Uniting Church (MUC) and community priorities and development of the new building?
