Bush Chapel
Is an ecumenical project that evolved by several members of the community seeing the vision for an outdoor worship venue. Barossa council provided land off of Penrice Rd and some hard working volunteers saw the vision come to fruition. While it is a joint venture with NFA and churches in Nuriootpa it is overseen by members of Nuriootpa Uniting Church. Bookings can be made through Barossa Valley Tourist Park.
Christmas Lunch
The church provides Christmas lunch for approximately 60 members of the community on Christmas Day For more details contact Mary Plush 0418 523 703.
House of Hope
The house at 56 Murray Street came on the market in May 2014 and after much discussion and prayer and with assistance of Synod it was purchased in August 2014. Over the next few months many working bees were held as the house was upgraded to meet Council regulations for a public building. We are indebted to many tradespeople who carried out some of the work at reduced rates. The name House of Hope was adopted after a ballot at a congregation meeting and the House was officially opened by the Moderator in September 2014.
The first outreach project was “Breakthrough” a program for disengaged high school students. This was held each Monday during School term with assistance from High School Chaplain. This has changed to a Drop-in Centre at the hall on Monday afternoons during term time. It is run by Young Life Australia.
The house has developed as a real outreach for the church into the community. Tutti Arts hire the house and provide a safe place for people with disabilities to do art and film making.
Community Kitchen
This is a much needed outreach into the community. It provides an evening meal each
Thursday for those who live on their own or who are homeless. Frozen meals are also
given out on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be delivered to those in need who are
unable to get to the kitchen.
