Comments

This former St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Bega closed about 1977, and the property was sold. The church had been part of the Presbytery of Canberra and the Presbyterian Church of Australia in the State of New South Wales. Following the closure of this church a congregation known as the Scots Presbyterian Church, for a time, met in 17 Upper Street, Bega,. This church has now also closed (see separate entry - Resonate Church - 2550). The Gipps Street church building was opened in 1870, with a porch added in 1926. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 28/8/2017.
