Comments
The Ardrossan Uniting Church is part of the Generate Presbytery of the Uniting Church Synod of South Australia. The church building was opened on 24/3/1878 for the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which became part of the Methodist Church at Union in 1900, and the Uniting Church in 1977. The porch was added in 1924 and the Sunday School Hall was opened on 15/2/1938. Early services in the district began in private homes, later moving to the open air when the congregation grew too large, and then Freeman's Mill. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 25/3/2025.
