The Southern Mallee Co-operative Parish, Hopetoun was formed in February 1986 when the Baptist and Uniting Churches in the small north west Victorian towns of Hopetoun, Rainbow and Speed realized their future lay in co-operation and sharing resources. It is part of the association of churches known as the Baptist Union of Victoria and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The present church building was erected for the Methodist Church in 1927, and replaced an earlier wooden building erected in 1893. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 16/1/2023.
