Comments

The Rock Uniting Church is part of the Presbytery of Riverina and of the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. The church building was opened in 1914 for the Methodist Church, which became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. The St Stephen's Presbyterian Church (see separate entry - 2655) also became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. When it closed the foundation stones of its building were relocated and relaid in the Uniting Church, to mark the centenary of the establishment of the Presbyterian Church in The Rock.  No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/5/2025.
