The Uniting Church, through UnitingWorld, its international Assembly agency, sustains 36 partnerships with churches and communities worldwide. In South Australia, we focus on developing the relationships with five of these churches:

GKI church in Papua
United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP), North Luzon
