Learn about the Church’s past
The original St Andrew’s Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built by public subscription in 1881, in the hinterland village of Nerang, where it served the local community for over 100 years. The Gothic Style Church was relocated from Price Street Nerang QLD to the property “Yooroona” on the corner of Curtis and Long Roads in February 1993, originally the home of the Pioneering Curtis Family. The old Queenslander still stands on the site.
The hard wood and pine pit-sawn timber for the church was purchased from Yaun’s sawmill at Nerang. In 1898 the Presbyterian Church bought the building, and in 1977 it became a part of the Uniting Church of Australia. When it ceased to be used as a church in 1981 and heritage listed. Before it’s removal to the Mountain the building was also used as an office. It was sold and moved under the condition that it would never be demolished. The building was restored and renovated initially to its former charm, retaining the original silky oak pulpit, candles, and antique chandelier.
The first wedding ceremony was held in 1993, this was the beginning of countless weddings and private functions and has continued to provide a perfect building and surrounding grounds for weddings, funerals, movie sets and community events. In 2021 it received another facelift with fresh paint inside & out and a bell added to the front. The history and story of this classic Australian building continues.
