Comments

The Wagga Wagga Uniting Church is part of the Riverina Presbytery and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. Methodist activities in the district commenced about 1864, with a number of buildings and other arrangements required over the years, until the present church building was opened on 22/10/1949, by the Rev R B Lew, President of the NSW Conference. The Memorial Youth Hall was opened on 4/11/1950 by the Rev A M Sanders, President-elect of the NSW Conference. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/8/2023.
