The Uniting Church confidently believes that through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God brings us into right relationship with God, whereby in faith we can:

• live in a close, loving, personal, dynamic relationship with the living God;
• participate in the worshipping, caring and serving community of Christians;

The Basis of Union is the document that set the platform for how the three denominations that formed the Uniting Church came together. It outlines the roles of the different Councils of the Church including the Presbyteries, the Synods, and the Assembly.

It states the central affirmations of the Christian faith and is a guide to what is central in the life of the Uniting church.
