Comments

The Quirindi Uniting Church is part of the New England North West Presbytery and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. The history of the Presbyterian church in the Quirindi district dates from about 1937. In the early days the Murrurundi Presbyterian Church was more significant in the district, with Quirindi as an offshoot. By 1901 a weatherboard church building existed in Quirindi. In 1908 an assistant minister was appointed at Murrurundi with resposnibility for the growing Quirindi congregation. In 1913 the old weatherboard building was relocated to the present and more suitable site. In 1920 Mrs Munro and her daughters laid the foundation stone for a Memorial Church building in memory of her husband and sons. This building was opened on 25/5/1921 by the Moderator, The Right Rev John Edwards. A church hall was built in 1930 as a memorial to Mr & Mrs R J Pollock1. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 11/8/2023 & 4/2/2025.
