Comments
The former Deniliquin Uniting Church has closed, with the congregation joining the St Andrew's Uniting Church on the next corner. The property was then acquired by the Salvation Army (see separate entry - 2710). The first record of a Wesleyan Methodist service in Deniliquin was in 1867, when the Rev Bird conducted services in the Masonic Hall. These were followed in subsequent years by services conducted by the Rev Fitchett and the Rev Charles Jones in the Court House. The first church building was erected/opened in 1871 in Cressy Street. A manse and Kindergarten were built/acquired in the following years. A new church building was erected on the present site and opened by the Rev R H Campbell on 19/10/1938. The Kindergarten Hall being relocated to the site of the new church. The church celebrated its centenary in 19711. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 24/4/2018.
