Comments

The Gloucester Baptist Church formally began at a meeting on 29/3/1950, although services had begun in the Gloucester School of Arts in about 1948. The first church building was opened on 9/9/1952, the Rev N Reeve, President of the Baptist Union of NSW officiating. [Not clear why dates on stone and opening date in the history are one month apart?]. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 28/3/2020.
