Comments

Early Presbyterian services were held in Orbost from about 1885, with the first church building, a wooden structure, opened on 9/1/1898. The present church building was opened on 2/5/1964. The Union of the local Presbyterian and Methodist churches occurred in the late 1960s, prior to the formation of the Uniting Church in June 1977. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/3/2021.
