We're excited to introduce a new intercultural community connections role that builds on our church's welcoming foundation. For years, many have worked faithfully to embrace people from diverse backgrounds, creating beautiful glimpses of genuine community. This position honours that work while providing focused support to deepen these relationships.

Our culturally diverse members have enriched our church life, and this role ensures their gifts and leadership are woven even more fully into all we do. It's our next step—moving from welcoming spirit to intentional opportunities for mutual learning, shared leadership, and growth across cultures.
Building authentic intercultural community takes dedicated attention. By investing in this position, we're affirming that cross-cultural relationships matter deeply. Together, we can continue growing into the diverse, welcoming body of Christ we're called to be.

The Project

To create intentional gathering spaces at Broadview Uniting Church for people from diverse backgrounds and groups in the wider Broadview community, offering relational, low-barrier pathways to explore faith, encounter Christ, and grow in their connection to the life and mission of the church

Our Mission

- To support our emerging culturally diverse community
- Build relationships with groups already forming in our space
- Develop leaders to guide the church into a new era
- Share meals, hold community events, and faith formation spaces
- Connect our emerging communities with the work of covenanting and our relationship with First Nations peoples

THE PROJECT

The Plan

A grant from Uniting Foundation enables the hiring of an Intercultural Community Connection Coordinator working one and a half days a week (0.4 FTE) to lead this project alongside our core team of volunteers. The role is partly funded for 2026 and 2027, and unfunded for 2028.

The Coordinator will organise activities and experiences to develop strong connections between the growing number of intercultural communities in the Broadview area. This includes people both within the Broadview UC as well as those who are living, working and playing here.

There will be 4 main focuses for the role
1️⃣ Action One: Community Building
Including Community Dinners and Sunday Lunches

2️⃣ Action Two: Discipleship
Including Workshops and Community Worship and Prayer Groups

3️⃣ Action Three: Mountain Top Experience
Including a Retreat/ Pilgrimage Together

4️⃣ Action Four: Leadership Development

There will also be 2 minor focuses: 
1️⃣Fundraising and Sustainability
2️⃣Administrative Support

MORE ABOUT THE ROLE...

Imagine...

An old, well loved church in a multicultural suburb overflowing with life, stewarded by a vibrant intercultural community.

The buzzing of activity as you walk in, where the local karate group teacher shares a coffee with a seniors connections group, and Tongan community pastor shares a laugh with the Zumba teachers in the hall.

The smells of home-cooked dinner wafts down the street as diverse group of young adults gather together for a Friday night catch up, reminiscing on their recent experience on pilgrimage in Adyamathanha country.

Songs in many languages echo through the church walls every Sunday, the worship leaders reflecting the many backgrounds and identities of their congregation.


IMAGINE

The Goal

To fund our Coordinator from 2026-2027 and cover the costs of running events, workshops, and discipleship experiences.

We've set a goal to raise $8,000 for our first two years in 2026 and 2027. We have secured a grant of $40,000 with Uniting Foundation to subsidise the overall cost for the coordinator. While we'll be running in person fundraising events throughout the year, funds raised online through this Campaign are crucial to keep momentum and help build up this emerging community.

With your support we can reach more people and community groups. We aim to have our coordinator, events, and workshops be entirely self funded by our community by the end of 2028.
