INSTRUCTIONS

The information you enter here will be included in the full rebuild of the Synod's www.ucaqld.com.au which is currently underway. It will feature a greater focus on connecting non-Uniting Church people with our faith and the life of our congregations.

One important feature of the new site will be a fully searchable database of Uniting Church worship centres and times of worship. This database will also be searchable by postcode. People will be able to type in their postcode and see a list of congregations in and near their local area together with service times, map and picture of the church building from the street so they will be able to find it quickly.

Please enter one separate record for each worship centre and please ensure that each worship location is only entered once. Once entered you may update or add to your details at any time.

Congregation name is the name you call yourselves (e.g. " St Andrews Uniting Church").

Also known as. If you have an alternate name (e.g. " Yeppoon Uniting Church) please enter that also. The database will also be searchable by name so it is useful to have a suburb/town name in one of the titles.

Telephone is the number you would like people to call when they wish to enquire about service times.

Worship address. It is important that the accurate street address and number are recorded here. If the church is on a corner put " Cnr Smith Street and Cantaloupe Avenue". The aim here is to help people find the property quickly and easily.

Remember, most people will search for your church by typing in their postcode.
