Comments

The Gosford Uniting Church began as a Wesleyan Church, with its genesis in a service held in a private home in March 1884. The church made strong progress, and in 1885 purchased land for a church building, at the cnr of Eliza and William Streets, (approx) the site of the current city fountain. The first church building was opened in 1890. In 1920 the present site was acquired and a new church building was opened and dedicated on 26/1/1926. The present church building was opened and dedicated on 2/4/1955. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 30/3/2021.
