Skipton Street Methodist Church

The Skipton Street Methodist Church was a church in Skipton Street.

The church was formed when the former Bible Christians, Primitive Methodists, and Wesleyan Methodists, amalgamated to form the Methodist Church. In 1977 the church joined with the Congregational Church and Presbyterian Church to form the Uniting Church of Australia. The Skipton Street Uniting Church is still operating.

Location
The church was on the north east corner of Skipton Street and Darling Street

History
From April 1902: "The preachers for the Skipton Street Methodist Church to-morrow are Rev. W. J. Treloar, morning; and Mr E. Blewett, evening."

From December 1915: "SKIPTON STREET METHODIST. At the Skipton street Methodist Sunday school yesterday afternoon the superintendent in addressing the scholars on the subject of the lesson 'The Song of the Angels' made feeling reference to the many homes in this City and district that have been made sad and mournful through loved ones falling in defence of freedom, home and country. He hoped that long before the next Christmas season the awful war of nations would be over and that peace and goodwill once more be established on this earth. Special reference was also made regarding two scholars of the school, Miss Violet Evans and Albert Holtham who gained first and second prizes respectively (given by the Urquhart street school) on the Biblical essay competition, entitled 'Daniel.' Those prize-winners are young in years and their effort in the competition proved very creditable."

In 1965 a new manse was built next to the church.
