Comments

The Blackburn Presbyterian Church, located to this site during the 1980's, by purchasing a former chapel and erecting the current building during 1989. Presbyterian services had been held in the Blackburn district since the 1880's, in various private homes, public halls and St John's Anglican Church. Their first church building was erected in 1926 in The Avenue, and then a new building on the same site in 1960. This building became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. The remaining Presbyterians were without a place to gather until the purchase of the current site. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 14/11/2020.
