The St Andrew's Uniting Church, Riverstone had its beginnings in the Presbyterian worship services that began in the home of Mr John Greig in 1882. In 1884 land was purchased in Regent Street and a church building was erected and opened on 2/11/1884, by the Rev P Fitzgerald. The building was relocated to its present site on 8/2/1913. [Sourced from: Article by Bruce McCaull at https://www.riverstonehistoricalsociety.org.au/blog/?page_id=2234]. The church combined with the local Methodist Church in 1967, prior to the formation of the Uniting Church. The new St Andrew's Community Centre was opened about 1980. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 1/2/2021.
