As the minister of United Heritage Church, I bring years of dedicated service and a
deep passion for fostering spiritual growth within our community. My journey has been marked by a commitment to inclusive and compassionate leadership, guiding
individuals through life’s joys and challenges with faith and understanding. I warmly
welcome you to our church, where we strive to create a supportive and inspiring
environment for all who seek connection and meaning.
As the Music Director here, I am passionate about creating meaningful musical experiences that enrich our worship and connect us on a spiritual level. With a background in musical performance and direction, I believe in the power of melody and harmony to uplift hearts and inspire our faith journey. I am delighted to share my gifts with the United Heritage Church community.

Our Faith
We are a community of faith from diverse backgrounds, an inclusive people living in respect, fellowship and hope; a welcoming and caring people of God.
Our Mission is to envision, create and promote a welcoming community, putting God at the centre, seeking spiritual growth, education and sustainable development, respectfully reaching out to those in need, sharing our gifts and joy with everyone.
History of Our Church
United Heritage Church is the union of two denominations and the amalgamation of four separate congregations. In 2014 St. Andrew’s United Church and First United Church in Sydney, Trinity United Church in Whitey Pier, and the United Baptist Church officially amalgamated. We made our new home on 500 Charlotte Street in the church constructed by Sydney’s Baptist community in 1918.
We are a “uniting” church. Today our faith community has people from all faith backgrounds who have found a home with us. We see this variety of religious experiences and background as our strength.
COME WORSHIP WITH US
We meet at 10:30 Sunday mornings. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate in our service.
The main entry is on the corner of Townsend and Charlotte street at the big double doors. There are two flights from the street level to the sanctuary.
Full accessibility is offered with elevator service on the Townsend street side, where an attendant will operate the lift upon request.
