Comments
The first Presbyterian worship services in the area were held in James Donaldson's barn about 1843. These services gained their first permanent home in a combined school/church erected of timber slabs in 1851. The present church was dedicated by the Rev A D Kininmont on 9/6/1878.
More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/3/2018.
