Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance
This substantial church is historically significant for its role in the religious and social life of the Methodist (now Uniting Church) people of the Sunshine district. Built at a time when Sunshine was growing rapidly, with thousands of new settlers, it expresses both the strength of the established town of Sunshine and the realisation that the district would grow further. The Methodists were the first migrants to build a place of worship in the Sunshine area, as far back as the 1850s. In recent decades, the Uniting Church at Sunshine has initiated a range of community services which have been of incalculable value in assisting those in need.
