Comments

The Emu Flat Uniting (formerly Presbyterian) Church is part of the Loddon Mallee Presbytery and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania. The Presbyterian church held its earliest services in the area in the 1860s, with a bark church building erected about 1867. This was replaced by the current stone structure understood to have been erected in the late 1870s, and opened about February 1881. A centenary of the church was held on 18/11/1973, perhaps acknowledging the formal formation of the church rather than the erection of the church building. The porch was added to the structure about 1895. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 7/4/2023 & 29/7/2024.
