The Beeac Uniting Church is part of the Presbytery of Western Victoria and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The church building held its first services for the Presbyterian Church in 1862. After joining with the Methodist Church in 1960 to become the Beeac United Church, in 1977, after the formation of the Uniting Church it became part of the Uniting Church. It is now also part of the Corangmaite-Otway Regional Network. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/1/2018.
