About Us

Welcome to Kawana Waters Uniting Church

 
Thank you for your interest in our Church. We offer you a very warm welcome.
Our central focus is on Jesus and to see lives transformed through a personal relationship with Him. With God’s help and encouraging each other, we strive to be a Christ-centred Church, encouraging a vibrant, active faith in God. 

 

 
We believe, the general purposes of a local church are worship, small groups, discipleship, pastoral care, and outreach as discerned from:
• The Great Commandment – to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves (Mark 12:30 & 31),

and

• The Great Commission – to go and make disciples of everyone we meet, sharing with them the love of God (Matthew 28:19–20). 
The mark of a healthy local church is that it emphasises these purposes in word and deed, as well as doing so with an equality of importance for each purpose. In this way our church will soar “on wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31).

Minister’s Words

Rev. Fritz Venzke

Fritz was born in Namibia (southern Africa), studying theology in Stellenbosch University in South Africa, and completing his Master of Divinity in 2013. He was ordained to ministry in the Dutch Reformed Church serving in several locations before moving to Australia in 2018.  Since then he’s been connected to the Uniting Church here in Queensland – involved in youth ministry, hospital chaplaincy, and parish ministry. 

Fritz is passionate about telling the good news of God – a recent comment was “God doesn’t give us what we deserve – God showers us with his abundant and overflowing love and embrace”. He’s also really into pastoral care, working with young people, and building disciples of Christ.

He and his wife, Helené, (they met at Uni) are both keen athletes, so fit right in to the Sunshine Coast scene! Kawana Waters Uniting Church is excited to join in the journey with Fritz wherever God takes us in the coming months and years.
