LAURIETON  BONNY  HILLS  CONGREGATION

Since 1st April, 2006, Laurieton and Bonny Hills, previously separate congregations of the then Camden Haven group of congregations, together constitute a single lay-led congregation worshipping in two different locations.

St Andrew’s Uniting Church in Laurieton is situated in the largest town of the area, popular both as a holiday resort and as a retirement area. St Andrew’s, Laurieton, is also the “local” Uniting Church for the village of Camden Haven (just across the bridge).

The Uniting Church in Bonny Hills is adjacent to the Bonny Hills Camp site (part of the chain of such camp sites administered by the NSW Synod Board of Education) and serves the villages of Bonny Hills and Lake Cathie.

The towns and villages of this area, like other Mid North Coast towns and villages, have a high proportion of retired people but also, because it is a coastal strip, cater too for holiday-makers and tourists and the industries that service that segment of the economy.
