Here at Chinchilla Uniting Church it is important for us to work within our community.
We aim to be a vital and important part of serving those within our district in a number of ways. FRONTIER SERVICES: By hosting Great Outback BBQ's and other fundraisers we aim to raise awareness and funds for those doing it tough in the bush as well as supporting our Patrol Ministers and families in the outback while having fun ourselves!
SU CHAPLAINCY: The congregation is a long time supporter of the local Scripture Union Chaplaincy programs within our school. Our minister is on the local Chaplaincy committee and an active member of SU events.
