The former Minyip Uniting Church property is now believed to be privately owned.
The church was opened on 26/11/1925 by the Minister the Rev W McIlroy. This was followed by a dedication service on Sunday 29/11/1925 by the Most Rev Crookston, Moderator General of the Presbyterian Church of Australia. It United with the Methodist Church in 1972 and became St Andrew's Uniting Church in 1977 when that church was formed . In 1983 it became the Uniting Church in Minyip. The Methodist church was sold in 1984. The church was closed in 2012 with a final service held on 19/2/2012, the Rev Jeff Gray, officiating. The church has a series of stained glass windows depicting Bible stories. (Wimmera Mail-Times 16 Feb 2012). More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited.
