St Martin's Foothills - a heart for community.

A Heart for Community

St Martin’s Foothills Uniting Church in Forrestfield was the first new congregation formed within the Uniting Church in Australia, post Union. There was a vision to provide outreach into the Perth eastern metropolitan suburbs in the foothills of the Darling Range escarpment. 

St Martin's have a vibrant Op-Shop and Community Centre run by dedicated teams of volunteers from the congregation and community. 

The Op-Shop commenced operations in August 1995 and will soon be marking 30 years of service to the community! 

Marty’s Community Centre is currently run every Thursday morning at the church. Volunteers greet people with a friendly smile, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 

Read all about these community services in our Revive article.
