The Christ Church Anglican Church, Bemboka (previously known as Colombo) is part of the Parish of Bega and the Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn. The present church building is the third erected by the Anglican community in Bemboka. It was opened in 1930 and consecrated on 30/8/1936. The first building, a wooden structure was located on what is now the town common, on the southern outskirts of the town. It was dedicated on 24/2/1872 and used until 1889, when it was demolished. The second church building was erected on the present church site, and was also a wooden structure. It was used until 1929, when it was demolished to make way for the present building1. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photograhs uploaded 28/8/2017 & 23/3/2021
