​One community, many people
​一個群體,許多民眾


Romans 12:4-5
Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ’s body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others.

罗马书 12:4-5
就像一个身体有许多肢体，各肢体都有不同的功用； 
​照样，我们大家在基督里成为一个身体，也是互相作肢体。
​
로마서 12:4-5
우리가 한 몸에 많은 지체를 가졌으나 이 지체들이 다 같은 기능을 가진 것은 아닙니다.  
이와 같이 우리 많은 사람들이 그리스도 안에서 한 몸이 되어 서로서로 지체가 되었습니다.

We believe God created people.

Genesis 1:27
So God created human beings in God's own image. In the image of God they were created; male and female God created them.

创世记 1:27
上帝就照着自己的形象造了人，祂照着自己的形象造了男人和女人。

창세기 1:27
자기 모습을 닮은 사람, 곧 남자와 여자를 창조하셨다.



We welcome ALL PEOPLE.

Galatians 3:27-29
And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.  And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

加拉太书 3:27-29
因为你们受洗归入基督就是披戴基督。  从此不再分犹太人和希腊人，自由人和奴隶，男人和女人，因为你们都在基督耶稣里合而为一了。 你们若属于基督，就是亚伯拉罕的后裔，都是照着上帝的应许承受产业的人。

갈라디아서 3:27-29
 누구든지 그리스도와 연합하는 세례를 받은 사람은 그리스도로 옷을 입은 것입니다.
여러분은 다 그리스도 예수님 안에서 하나가 되었으므로 유대인이나 그리스 사람이나 종이나 자유인이나 남자나 여자나 차별이 없습니다.
여러분이 만일 그리스도에게 속한 사람이라면 여러분은 아브라함의 후손이며 하나님이 약속하신 것을 받을 상속자들입니다.



You are loved by God.
You are welcome at Eastwood Uniting Church.

Becoming part of the Eastwood Uniting Church Community

Membership in the Uniting Church is open to all who are baptized into the Holy Catholic Church in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We baptize those who confess the faith and we also baptize children for whom we take pastoral/spiritual responsibility. If you were baptized in another denomination, that’s fine, because it is all about being a follower of the Way of Jesus and finding a community to journey with. You are welcome here!
 
We recognize different kinds of ways of connecting with this community:

-       Guest – ‘just visiting’, belong somewhere else, but we are glad you popped in to experience our hospitality!

-       Regular Visitor – you come here occasionally and would like to know when there are special events on.

-       Adherent – you are not-yet-baptised, but you are part of the community. You participate, but you are not expected to carry the responsibilities of being a member, but may explore faithful service with us.

-       Member-in-Association – you hold your church membership elsewhere but have regular connections here and would like to stay on our Roll of Members. You are able to contribute to discernment and discussions, but remain a ‘non-voting member’.

-       Baptized Member – this is where you ‘belong’ as a baptised member of the congregation. You are able to participate in discernment and decision-making about the future of this community.

-       Confirmed or Covenanted Member – you are actively committed to this community, and share your gifts and graces for the common good. You are able to participate in leadership and mentoring of others.
​
Note: lay and ordained leaders confirm their faith publicly and covenant with the community before taking up responsibilities.
