History

The Uniting Church is one of a group of significant heritage buildings in Brockman St, the main street of Pemberton. The 1920s was a period of growth in Pemberton. Significant buildings sprang up in the main street, Brockman St, including the Mill Workers Hall, the School, the Pemberton Hotel, the Methodist Church, and the Picture Theatre. These are still intact today, and the main street precinct has high streetscape and heritage value. In the 1970s there was a move to merge some Christian churches in Australia. On 22 June 1977 the Uniting Church was formed as a result of a union of the Congregational Church of Australia, the Methodist Church of Australia and the Presbyterian Church of Australia. As a result this church was renamed the Uniting Church. Refer to 16.6 for more historical notes
