DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Christ Church Uniting (church)
Registered Name Christ Church Uniting (church)
Significance Designed by Colin Norton of Brown Falconer and opened in 1983, Christ Church Uniting (church) is an outstanding, innovative example of late twentieth-century ecclesiastical Modern Movement architecture in South Australia. Responding to the emergence of informal worship styles in Protestant denominations during the 1970s, Christ Church Uniting (church) established a precedent for many churches that followed through its flexible-use chapel and associated community facilities, which blurred the boundaries between sacred and secular space. Christ Church Uniting (church) has a special association with the Uniting Church, which formed in 1977 and has been South Australia's third-largest religious denomination since then. Built to serve both as local parish church and as a chapel for the former Parkin-Wesley Theological College, Christ Church Uniting (church) was the first bespoke worship complex completed by the Uniting Church in South Australia and embodies the progressive values of the organisation in its built form.

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Council areas, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
