Strzelecki Uniting Church is of local historic, aesthetic and social significance to the South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, it is significant as the first joint denomination church to receive official sanction from the governing bodies of the both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, which was given more than 20 years prior to the formal creation of the Uniting Church of Australia in 1977. It demonstrates how the inter-faith cooperation in rural areas of the Shire continued into the Postwar period. (Criterion A)

The setting of the church is complemented by the original front fence . Along with the Strzelecki Public Halls it is one of two historic landmarks from different eras that 'bookend' the Avenue of Honour. (Criterion E)
It has social significance for its strong and enduring associations with the Strzelecki community through its use as a Uniting Church for over 50 years. (Criterion G)
