UNITING CHURCH (FORMER BIBLE CHRISTIAN CHURCH)

The former Bible Christian Church built c.1863 is significant. The additions to the side are not significant. 

The former Bible Christian Church is of local historical and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.

The former Bible Christian Church is of historic significance for its association with the Bible Christian movement whose origins were in Cornwall and Devon and subsequently brought to Australia by Cornish immigrants to South Australia. Built on land belonging to James Green, the church demonstrates the tradition of building on private land unlike the more dominant churches where land was granted. The church is tangible evidence of the presence of the Bible Christian movement that was later to become a part of the Methodist Church. Criterion A

The former Bible Christian Church is of aesthetic significance for its demonstration of the Primitive Gothic style, including the lower pitched roof as demonstrated by many non-conformist churches, and for its use of sandstone walls and brick quoining and dressings in a manner derived from the Cornish buildings of South Australia. As such it is a rare building in the Bendigo district. Criterion B
