(The Muswellbrook Chronicle - 5 June 1915)   "NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Muswollbrook's new Presbyterian Church (St. John's) was opened on Thursday after noon by the Right Rev. R. Scott-West, Moderator of the State Assembly."

The present St John's Presbyterian Church & Hall was erected 1913-1915. The original/former St John's Presbyterian Church was built in 1843. This former St John's Presbyterian Church is located higher up the hill in Hill Street and is now used as part of Dunmore Lang Christian School. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 9/4/2015.

The building is now also used by Hope City Church, which is a member of Australian Christian Churches.
