Comments
The former Merriton Uniting Church closed about 1990 and the property was sold. The church had been part of the Uniting Church Synod of South Australia. This was the first church building erected for the Methodist Church after Union in 1900. It was erected on land donated by Mr Davidson. The stone for the building was supplied from the demolished Bible Christian Church at Merriton and the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Rocky Point. The Merriton Methodist Church was opened on 23/6/1901 by the Rev V Roberts. Pews for the church came from The Bible Christian Church at Crystal Brook and the pulpit from the Redhill Primitive Methodist Church. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/3/2025.
