Comments

The Epsom Community Church is a member of the association of churches known as the Baptist Union of Victoria. The Methodist Church began worship in the district in the 1850s, on a tree stump in the open air. The present church building was erected by the Methodist Church in 1959 to commemorate 100 years of worship in the district. In 2012 the church became a member of the BUV. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 14/2/2023.
