Comments

The Edithburgh Uniting Church is part of the Yorke Peninsula Regional Mission Group and the Wimala Presbytery in the Uniting Church Synod of South Australia. The first church building was a chapel opened on 25/12/1874, for the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which became part of the Methodist Church on Union in 1900. It  was replaced by the present church building, erected on the same site and opened on 10/8/1910. The 1874 building was demolished in 1993. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/3/2025.
