Comments
The former Tatura Uniting Church was part of the Presbytery of North East Victoria and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The present church building, which was opened about 1960, replaced the former Methodist Church building in Kerford Street. The early Methodist services were held in a bark school house and then the Mechanics" Institute. The Thompson Street church held its final service on 4/7/2021, and the property was then sold (July 2021). The congregation have now moved to a new location, in Hogan Street (see separate entry - 3616). More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 17/5/2022.
