Welcome to Gartrell Church.

We are a community creating spaces to nurture a way of life that is centred on being

Flourishing.  Connected.  Serving.

 

Our vision is that our parish will be:

A Flourishing Community
Grounded in prayer, united in purpose, committed to growing in spirituality, becoming more and more conformed to Christ-likeness.

A Connected Community
Committed to being Christ’s representatives, at the centre of the Dulwich-Rose Park area, providing opportunities to build and maintain relationships with all who live, work, and walk locally

A Serving Community
Sharing faith stories with those seeking hope, demonstrating Christ’s love to those seeking belonging.

WORSHIP

Sunday Mornings at 10.00 – 11.00 am.

Holy Communion is offered each Sunday, and everyone is welcome to participate.

We value open, generous and inclusive worship, the sharing of communion, the exploration of scripture and prayer for each other and the wider world.

Gartrell worship centres on your spiritual well-being.
Preaching is based on Bible readings and the message connects with
21st century life experience.

Children are welcome in worship and provided with a space and age relevant activities.

Our elegant heritage-listed building has a traditional layout with pews and wood panelling, stained glass windows and a beautiful pipe organ, which is used regularly.

ABOUT US & HISTORY

The Dulwich Rose Park United Parish – known as Gartrell Church – was created in 1971 by the harmonious merging of Methodist, Churches of Christ and Congregational communities in the Rose Park and Dulwich areas. We are accepting of diverse understandings of faith and practice and committed to being a loving, faithful and spiritually alive community so that others may find Christ and grow in their relationship with Him.

The story of Gartrell Church began in 1911 when the Kent Town Methodist church purchased land on
Prescott Terrace between Alexandra and Grant Avenues for £500. The foundation stone was laid in February 1914 and the Church building was completed 9 months later.

The Church building and pipe organ are outstanding examples of ecclesiastical artistry in Adelaide at the beginning of the 20th century and, along with the church hall built in 1915, were listed on the
State Heritage Register in 1989.
