Bellingen UC welcomes you to our community. Our Church can feel like a family because sometimes we have different views, but that's what makes us part of the Body of Christ.
Our Church aims to be a lighthouse in the community. Sometimes a lighthouse helps out those it will never see, sometimes it creates safe harbour and guides the lost.
We hope when you come to Our Church Name you become an integral part of the fabric of our Church. Share a cuppa with us after the service!

In ways this passage is about addressing the difficult issues of conflict and relational breakdown within the church. In other ways this passage is an invitation into the loosing, liberating, life giving ways of Christ. This may be a difficult passage to understand, but certainly it is a difficult passage to embrace as part of the Christian life.
Over two thousand years ago, near Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks Simon Peter 'who do you say that I am?". Today we are asked the same question, 'who do YOU say Jesus is?'
We come to the remarkable reading of the Canaanite woman who lunges into the life of Jesus, amongst the crowd and the disciples, and pulls him from the inconvenient interruption, back into the reality of the Christ and the way of God.
