About UPA
U - United – working together much can be achieved.
In 1938, Thomas & Rosetta Agst took into care seven small children from three families who needed help. A passionate Christian man, an accomplished organiser and local politician, he soon inspired many people with the vision to provide solid family based Christian care for protestant children in need of help. This powerful vision, mixed with a fervent desire to promote Protestant religion drove our growth for the next twenty five years. At the time of Thomas Agst retirement from UPA he had established 12 Sunday schools, 12 Protestant Alliance lodges, 95 UPA branches, 12 District Councils, 13 children’s’ homes, 92 cottages and flats for the aged, 2 homes for 22 aged people , 3 opportunity shops, a printery as well as crucial assistance for the Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria Associations. Tom united people to work together. |
