Did the stones of Oakleigh Uniting Church ever whisper secrets? Today, they do. Right here at 154 Drummond Street in Oakleigh, Victoria, stands Oakleigh Uniting Church. This isn’t just any church. It’s a testament to the enduring power of faith and community. Oakleigh Uniting Church replaced the Methodist Church on Broadway, St. Paul’s. The original church building, a smaller structure just north of the main sanctuary, still stands. It now serves as St. David’s Hall, a quiet echo of the past. Look closely at the foundation stones. They tell a tale of two buildings. One stone, laid in 1928, commemorates the construction of the main church building. The architects were Browning & Bladen, the builder W.A. Medbury, and the minister Reverend Wesley Johns. The other stone, dating back to 1912, marks the original church hall’s completion. C.B. Leith & Burbridge Leith designed it, and R.L. Phillips brought their vision to life. Reverend S. Adamson presided over the ceremony. This Oakleigh Uniting Church, steeped in history, continues to serve its community. It stands as a symbol of resilience and the enduring spirit of Oakleigh.
