Welcome to Lithgow Parish Uniting Church
Lithgow Parish Uniting Church welcomes you to our community. Our Church can feel like a family because sometimes we have different views, but that's what makes us part of the Body of Christ.
One Parish - Three Congregations
Our Church aims to be a lighthouse in the community. Sometimes a lighthouse helps out those it will never see, sometimes it creates safe harbour and guides the lost.
