Comments

St John's Congregation was officially formed on 14/12/1890. First church was built about 1905. A larger building was subsequently required  and the earlier church was demolished in 1924, to allow for construction of the present building. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs upoaded 31/12/2016.

A history of the church has been written: Our Three John's: one hundred years of Lutheranism in Jeparit, 1890-1990 by Alan Obst. Not sighted.
