The first Presbyterian Church service was held in Queensland in 1845 and was conduced by Reverend John Dunmore Lang. In 1851, the first dedicated Presbyterian Church building in Queensland was opened in Grey Street, South Brisbane. After the Australian federation in 1901, the Presbyterian Church of Queensland joined with the nation's other states to form the Presbyterian Church of Australia. In 1977, 75 percent of the Presbyterian Church of Australia joined with the Congregational and Methodist churches to form the Uniting Church of Australia. The remaining 25 percent continued as the Presbyterian Church in Australia with various state branches. Today, the Presbyterian Church of Queensland provides pastoral care to members of the congregation and wider community through various ministries such as church services, schools and hospital chaplains.
