Comments

The Cootamundra Uniting Church is part of the Regional Partnership - Riverina and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. The present church building (former Prersbyterian which was opened on 16/12/1936), replaced an earlier church building, which had been built fifty years earlier, and had become inadequate for the growing congregation. The church celebrated the seventy fifth anniversary on 11/6/2011 of the laying of the foundation stone and erection of the present church building. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photograph uploaded 13/10/2019 & 11/10/2024.
