Comments

The Surrey Hills Uniting Church operates in partnership with Kingswood College. The present church building was erected/opened on this site in 1915 to accommodate the growing congregation. Over the years it has been extended and altered to meet the needs of the congregation. It was erected on land donated by the Hon. Robert Beckett MLC. The St James Uniting Church, Wattle Park formally joined with the congregation after 7/1/2018. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 3/6/2014.
