Comments
The Chermside-Kedron Communuty Church represents the amalgamation of the former Chermside Methodist Church and the former Kedron Presbyterian Church following the formation of The Uniting Church in Australia in June 1977.
The first Methodist Church in Chermside was a timber building erected in 1877. It was moved in 1926 to the cormer of Hamilton and Gympie Roads, and replaced there by a new brick structure which was opened on 30/9/1950.
The present church was opened on 23/9/2001 by Rev Prof James Haire, President of The Uniting Church in Australia.
More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation is invited. Photographs uploaded 17/4/2020.
