Community Groups (UUFIT)

This congregation of the Uniting Church in Sawtell has always believed we are a part of the local community and they are a part of us. We use the name 'UUFIT' to cover all of the ongoing programs we see as doing our part to build up our community. Our mission plan reflects this. We freely subsidise each program to keep the cost at a minimum for participants. UUFIT stands for Uniting U (you with) Friendship, I (Inspiration), T (Training) - We run a number of groups, events, and programs under this banner. Any $ charge covers a contribution for direct or ancillary costs of the programs. Truly 'Sharing Jesus Love to our Community'
