Comments

The former Kanumbra Uniting Church, has closed (1988), and the property has been sold. The church had been part of the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The church building was erected and opened in 1899, for the Methodist Church, which became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. The land for the church building was donated by Mr William McGuigan, after he had fallen out with the minister of the St Paul's Anglican Church, next door, and joined the Methodist Church. The land for the St Paul's church had also been donated by Mr W McGuigan, and had been opened in 1885. The Methodist church building was one window larger than St Paul's. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/9/2026.
