Comments

The former St John's Lutheran Church, Taplan is closed, and the property is now privately owned (sold about 2020). The first Lutheran service in the district was held on 24/7/1918, with early services conducted in private homes. The first church building was opened on 14/10/1923, with most of the building labour being voluntary. The 25th anniversary was held in 1948, with a porch added to the building to mark the anniversary. A window was installed in 1950 to commemorate Pastor Myer, who laid the foundation stone. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 21/12/2020 & 24/12/2022.
