History and Architecture:
The Church was originally the Methodist Memorial Church and was built as a soldiers memorial, at a cost of £1700, to commemorates those who served in World War One. The church is now known as the Evangelical Memorial Uniting Church. Services started in a neighbour’s kitchen in 1874 before a log and mud building was constructed. After, a weatherboard church was built on the present site and used until the brick church was built in 1926. A Foundation stone reads, "To the Glory of God this stone was laid by Mrs C. J. Poole March 24th 1926".
In 2023 it was put up for sale.
