Did the walls of Knox Presbyterian Church in Melbourne ever imagine they’d witness such a rich tapestry of history? Knox Presbyterian, established in 1987, carries within its stones echoes of Presbyterianism’s earliest days in Melbourne. This history stretches back to 1846, with the arrival of Melbourne’s first official Christian minister, Reverend James Forbes. Forbes, a key figure in Melbourne’s Presbyterian history, founded the original Knox Church in Swanston Street in 1848. While this current Knox Presbyterian Church building is located in Wantirna, the historical connection to Forbes and the earlier church remains a strong thread. This church sits just 3 km south of Ringwood Railway Station, a major transport hub. Interestingly, the church offers to arrange transport for visitors from the station. This highlights their welcoming spirit and dedication to community. Knox Presbyterian is part of the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia, the oldest Presbyterian and Reformed Church in Australia. This church represents a continuous link to a faith tradition that has shaped Melbourne for centuries.
