Worship time includes contemporary songs led by a group of singers, set alongside the great traditional hymns of the church.

WE ARE THE UNITING CHURCH
The Uniting Church SA seeks to be an innovative, growing church proclaiming Jesus Christ, empowered by the Spirit to transform God’s world. Read More.
The Uniting Church is a young church – formed on 22 June 1977, when the Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian Churches united to become one. The Basis of Union is the document which affirms our Christian faith and is the guide to what is central to the life of the Uniting Church in Australia. Read the Basis of Union here.

No matter where you are on life’s journey – there’s a place for you here at the
Colonel Light Gardens Uniting Church.
History
Christian worship has been conducted on this site since it was part of Mr Overton’s farm in 1849. In 1854 the first building was completed and worship commenced in what was then known as the Goodwood Road Wesleyan Methodist Church. With the establishment of the Garden Suburb, this became the Colonel Light Gardens Methodist Church which in turn became the Daw Park Uniting Church with the formation of the Uniting Church.
The Colonel Light Gardens Uniting Church was formed from four Uniting Church congregations: Daw Park, Lower Mitcham, Colonel Light Gardens and Panorama on 25 November 1994. After much consideration, the decision was reached to dispose of three properties and to redevelop the buildings on the Daw Park site.
The new building complex for the Colonel Light Gardens Church was dedicated on 15 February 1998.
Our Vision
For everyone to experience the Love, Hope and Joy of Jesus.

Pastor Sonia Armani
Life’s journey has been the shaping force behind who I am and how I serve. Through seasons of joy, challenge, and growth, God has formed in me a deeply pastoral way of seeing the world—one that values presence, compassion, and the sacredness of every story, including your story.
I’m passionate about walking alongside others, creating spaces where people can explore faith, experience belonging, and grow in their connection with Christ. Whether I’m being mum, friend, travelling, attempting to play or manage a basketball team, supporting my favourite sporting clubs, singing loudly (and badly) engaging in community events, listening, or simply sitting with someone in a moment of honesty, I’m reminded of the privilege it is to be the hands and feet of God in everyday life.
My heart bursts with joy when I witness people discovering grace, hope, and deeper relationship with Jesus. It’s in those moments that I feel most alive and most aligned with the calling God has placed on my life.
Look forward to meeting with you
