Comments
St George's Presbyterian Church began in 1860. It was formed by a breakaway group from St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Yarra Street.
The last service was held in the church building on 20/1/2015, as the commencement of a one year moratorium, to decide the future of the church building. The church has a small congregation with very expensive maintenance required on the building due to its nature and stature. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs upoaded 30/12/2014.
