Rev. Dr. Peter Mallen speaking about Isabelle Merry, who in 1937 became the first woman to be ordained in any Victorian church and was the first minister of the Croydon North congregation.

The final service at Croydon North Uniting Church was held on Sunday 24th November with a congregation of around 35 people. It was a day of celebration, but also of sadness, a day of remembering many wonderful people over the life of the church, both lay and clergy, who created a vibrant and active church with a deep heart for mission, and an enthusiasm for living out God’s ways.

The congregation has been serving the Croydon North community for 88 years, and has been committed to loving its neighbours through this time. The current weekly Community Meals program is well-loved and appreciated by those who attend, and is possible only through God’s blessings on the volunteers who are devoted to this program, in particular the generosity and energy poured into it by Sue and Alan Mckenzie. This program will continue to serve those needing a meal and seeking community, but now under the banner of Croydon Uniting Church.

Many of those who worshipped at Croydon North have transferred their membership to Croydon Uniting church. You are welcome to join them. Service details can be found on the Croydon Uniting church website
