Whitehorse Uniting Cluster
After a period of more than a year of meetings and processes, our UCA Presbytery of Yarra Yarra formally recognised the churches of Blackburn North/Nunawading, Forest Hill, and Mountview as the Whitehorse Cluster in December 2020.
At last the three congregations, via a combined JNC and a new Regional Council, are progressing the calling of a shared ministry team, and are resuming the stalled processes of shared worships and bringing the three congregations closer in relationships - towards becoming a single entity in the future,
a new 'Whitehorse Uniting Church'.
Although the pandemic continues to hamper our efforts, we maintain our strong hopes that the outcomes will be worth it and to the glory of God.
