The St Andrew's Uniting Church, Riverstone is part of the Parramatta Nepean Presbytery of the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. The Church 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 St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. The new St Andrew's Community Centre was opened about 1980. The church celebrated its centenary in 1992. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
