Saltbush – Uniting the Scattered Community, seeks to encourage and connect Uniting Christian communities, irrespective of size or location and work at all the layers of our church to shape communities for the present future.
Saltbush seeks to enable us as a broad church to embrace the reality of being Christian community in the 21st. century and to affirm diverse ways for people across the land to belong; both to gather and be in mission together. Saltbush seeks to work with individuals and Christian communities who are willing to confront traditions and habits of the past to shape new intentional gatherings for the present future!
Our team is made up of Ministers and Deacons, some of who work in specific regions and others who work both online and on the ground across the land. Saltbush is not just a website nor a resource, but real people in relationship with those seeking to explore faith and life together.
Saltbush @ Worship
People from across the state and beyond for worship as Christian community. This is not streamed, one way or impersonal, but continues to build upon our belief in the missional relationship. Saltbush @ Worship takes place on different days/nights and is open to all.
