Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

A Presbyterian congregation at Durban, in what is now the Municipality of Swan Valley West, held its first service in this newly constructed church on 3 August 1908. They united with the local Methodists in 1918 and formally became the Durban United Church in 1925. A Christian education addition was made to the building in 1953 and, two years later, the church became part of a three-point charge, with Kenville United Church and Durban United Church. The church closed in 1993.
