Comments

The former Katandra West Uniting Church was part of the Presbytery of North East Victoria and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The Presbyterian congregation had been sharing the Anglican church building for about 17 years, prior to the opening of their own church building on 28/1/1962. The church became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. The church celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2012. Due to the decline in the members, the church closed with a final service on 12/12/2021, 59 years after it opened. More historical information/photographs of the former  church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 16/5/2022.
