Comments

The Brougham Place, Uniting Church, North Adelaide is part of the Uniting Church Synod of South Australia. The church was formed on 29/10/1859, and the unfinished church building opened on 22/2/1861. The first sermon in the new building was preached by the Rev Stow. Prior to the opening of the church building, services had begun on 15/5/1859 in the Tynte Street hall. The Rev J Jeffries was the first minister and was instrumental in forming the Sunday School and the North Adelaide Young Men's Society. In two periods, he was minister at the church for about 25 years. He was also involved in the establishment of the University of Adelaide. Over the years, more buildings have been added together with alterations to the church building, to meet the needs of the congregation. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 13/8/2021.
