Comments
The St Augustine Anglican Church, Dumbleyung is part of the Wagin/Dumbleyung Anglican Communities Model of Ministry and part of the Diocese of Bunbury. St Augustine's worshipped in the former Baptist church (see separate entry - 6350) from when it was purchased in 1921, until the present church building was erected/opened on the same site, and consecrated in 1958. Since 1997 St Augustine's and the Dumbleyung Uniting Church have worshipped in the St Augustine's church building, after the Uniting Church building was decommissioned. More historical information/photographs of the church(es)/congregation(s)are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/05/2015 & 8/8/2024.
