Living Water Uniting Church is a multigenerational worshipping community that has been formed through the joining of Living Faith (Carina Heights) and Broadwater Road (Mansfield) Uniting Churches in Brisbane. We strive to be a welcoming and supportive for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Our church facilities are situated on Broadwater Road, Mansfield and Pine Mountain Road, Carina Heights. Both locations have good facilities that are used for a wide variety of community activities and are also hired out to both regular and one-off users.

Tim has a passion for discipleship – “not just hearing but doing” (James 1:22). He enjoys sports, mostly watching nowadays, and has a doctorate about Sport and Christianity titled Redeeming Sports – Traces of the Spirit in a local sports club. He also enjoys playing guitar and ukulele and singing.
Tim is a team player and desires to provide opportunities for our church family to grow in the gifts and skills that will help us thrive in the future.
You can contact Tim through the office Monday-Thursday.
Sandra joined our team in 2024 to build our ministry with children, youth and families. She is married to Tim and loves being a mother and Nanna to her growing tribe.
Sandra and Tim have always been partners in ministry and it is great that they can now do this “officially”. Sandra has always had a passion of connecting with families with younger children and brings extensive experience in missions (YWAM) and outreach through childcare, playgroups, youth and kid’s ministry, and discipleship.
Sandra is creative and relational and heads up our wonderful Kid’s Club, Playgroups and Families related ministries. Sandra works part-time (20hrs) and you can usually find her around the church from Sunday to Thursdays.
Kylie is the heartbeat of our office. But she’s not just a smiling face. She has a Masters of Accounting and has been part of our team since 2022. She is married to Percy and has two teenage boys. She is also passionate about community work and actively involved in the Thai community. In her free time, she loves boxing, practicing
yoga, and taking walks with my dog and family.
Kylie works part-time (25 hours) in the church office Mondays – Thursdays and is happy to help you with any enquiries.
Jacquelyn Hall (Jacqui) coordinates our pastoral care. She originates from Ayr Nth Qld and moved to South-East Qld in 2008. She is a mother of 4 grown children & grandmother to 13 grandchildren ranging from 7 yrs – 21 yrs old.
