Adelaide West Uniting Church

If you know me and my reviews you know I am rather partial to a nice piece of architecture be it modern or old. I do like this church. I find that churches often reflect a contemporaneous style that is on the slightly progressive side of the tracks when they are built if they are not entirely traditional. This one has a very fine sense about it. I like the christian fish motif and I really like the built in skate ramp and hoop basket, it is saying late 1980’s to me, I’m not sure if it was built then, but the design certainly has elements that were popular in the early to mid 1980’s.
What I do know is that a group of churches consolidated in the start of the last decade and by 2002 this great Adelaide West Church was formed from smaller churches in the area.
The venue itself is for hire and the congregation is a very active one, they have a beautiful resource here and seem to use it well, with a children’s ministry and a girls club, I think they’re quite active. It’s good because they are very close, a stones throw in fact, from a divinity college.
