Adamstown Uniting Church runs many programs and activities that people can connect with beyond Sunday services. Justice and the arts is at the heart of many of these activities, and the church is a hub for creative events in the community. Blessed with many musically-gifted members of the congregation, concerts are held throughout the year. Check out Expresso and Adamstown Arts for upcoming events, and the Altar/d Art Series page for current art installations in the church.
As well as large events we offer smaller group gatherings and opportunities for reflection.

Adamstown Church is supporting the development of a four year training program – Emmanuel Spiritual Direction Formation, starting in 2019, to train appropriate people for the ministry of Spiritual Direction. This program will be of interest to people who feel called to accompany others on a spiritual journey to a deeper relationship with God, especially those involved in pastoral ministry including Priests, Religious, Ministers, Pastors, Chaplains and Lay people whose ministry is in visitation. Learn more about the training program.
