Comments
The All Saints' Anglican Church, Barwon Heads is part of the Parish of Ocean Grove with Barwon Heads and the Diocese of Melbourne. The first worship service recorded in the church building was on 25/12/1937, however, as plaques on some of the church furnishings predate this service, there would have been previous use. Early records were destroyed in a vicarage fire. The font was donated on behalf of Wendy Ann Hopkins, who was the second child to be baptised in the church on 25/3/1939. The church building was consecrated on 29/12/1940 by Bishop Donald Barker. Earlier worship services were held in the Mount Colite Hotel, with a committee formed in 1936 to collect funds for a church building. The Vicar of Marshall, the Rev D D Carruthers, whose parish included Barwon Heads, purchased a building from Sparrovale Farm for 105 pounds, on behalf of the congregation, for use as a church. This building is still the core of the building today, with extensions in 1952 and 1964. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 6/4/2025.
