Comments
The Gowrie Uniting Church is a worship centre of the Peel Valley Uniting Church, and part of the New England North West Presbytery and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. The first church building in the district was a Union Church, erected in 1893. It was used by Anglicans, Wesleyans, Presbyterians, and sometimes Baptists, although often anybody attended the services. This building was unfortunately destroyed in a storm on 2/10/1928. Until the Methodist church building was erected in 1933, on land donated by George C McGaffin, services were held in private homes. The church celebrated its 80th anniversary on 6/10/2013. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 20/1/2023.
