Comments
The Riverton Uniting Church is part of the Presbytery of Wimala and the Uniting Church Synod of South Australia. The present church building in Moorhouse Terrace was opened on 27/9/1964. It replaced the former Bible Christian Church building (now St Matthew's Lutheran Church - see separate entry - 5412) which had been used for services from about 1900, after the amalgamation of the Bible Christian/Wesleyan/Primitive Methodist churches to form the Methodist Church. The 1870 Wesleyan building becoming the Sunday School Hall after 1900. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 14/2/2024.
