About Us
Macquarie Darling Presbytery takes in a large portion of the state of NSW and includes hugely diverse regions, from the lush greenery of Lithgow and Mudgee in the east, to the sparsely populated dry soils of Broken Hill and Menindee. To the north we reach Coonabrabran and to the south, Parkes and Forbes.
The people in Macquarie Darling are as diverse! Young and old, sporty and academic, creative and technical - everyone contributes to their community, and is connected to their neighbours, their families and their fellow Uniting Church members. We come from many cultures and histories, and each of us has our story to tell.
Across the Presbytery there are many different industries and commercial ventures: agriculture, education, hospitality, medical, sporting, retail. We work collaboratively to keep our communities alive.
