Details: ALLOTMENT at corner of Evans and Teralba roads purchased for 70 pounds by the Presbyterians to build a church. DONALD McNaughten was at the head of a willing band of workers who supplied the labour for building the church free of cost. Architect T. J. Pepper presented them with plans of a church free of cost and concerts and bazaars raised enough money to begin. The building was described in 2000 - it is a rare example of a timber church with this level of architectural detail surviving in Newcastle. While the architectural detailing is particularly obvious on the exterior, the interior also retains its arched timber trusses, lining boards to the walls, and the ornate carved pulpit. All other internal furnishings, pews etc. have been removed. The attached hall at the rear appears to be an extension of an original small section that would have been a simple skillion roofed space only the width of the church (indicated by the change in the weatherboards across the rear facade, the different piers, and the absence of ceiling roses of timber dado panelling to the southern end of the space). While there are some other timber churches in Newcastle, most are masonry, timber being more typical of country areas. No other timber churches of a similar age are known, with St Thomas at Carrington and the former St Andrews church at Mayfield being c.1920s, and lacking the ornate carpentry that is such a distinctive feature of the Adamstown church. The building is also very much intact with no obvious modifications except the extension of the hall at the rear, and this does not appear to have caused any alterations to the actual church. Church was later demolished

Place: Brown-street, Newcastle
Source: Brown St. Congregational Church, Newcastle; centenary history 1853-1953 A Centenary History compiled by W. G. Courtman, Church Secretary in 1953 Camden Theological College
Details: The local Congregationalists used to hold services in what was known as the Long Room, then occupying a portion of the site on which Howard Smiths building in Watt Street now stands. At a later date the place of meeting was changed to the old Court House which stood on the site now occupied by the General Post Office. No record is available dealing with the actual building of the Brown Street Church, which was carried out probably about 1853. It seems to be common knowledge that two sites were offered by the Australian Agricultural Company to the little band of Congregationalists, then known as Independents - that which is now occupied by the Australia and New Zealand Bank at the corner of Hunter and Brown Streets, and that upon which the church now stands. Lest we of a later generation should fall into the error of questioning the wisdom of the choice made by the pioneers of Brown Street, it should be clearly understood that one hundred years ago the site which was rejected was not above flood level.

Details: The commencement in New castle of the Congregational Church, which will celebrate Its 81st anniversary on Sunday, is shrouded in mystery. It is probable that a few Congregationalists met together in a house for some years before public services were commenced. The first definite date in the history of the Brown-street church is 1851. Twelve years later searchers found a resolution in the church minutes thanking the Colonial Congregational Home Missionary Society for the liberal support it had given the church from the time it had sent a minister in 1851. In August, 1853, Rev. John Gibson was sent to Newcastle by the Home Missionary Society, equipped with a Bible, a hymn, book, a horse and a saddle. The purpose of the visit, was to preach here and obtain information with a view to establishing an Independent cause. Four months after his arrival, Mr. Gibson started collecting money to pay for the erection of a place of worship. As a result, the northern part of the Brown-street church was built. The work was begun probably in 1855, but delay was caused by the insolvency of the first contractor, and by the decision to build a school hall underneath the church. OPENED IN 1856 The official opening services were held on Wednesday, September 28, 1856. Though not architecturally ambitious, the church building has a bold exterior and a dignified interior, which the years have enriched and hallowed Contributions and promises amounting to £215 were gathered to reduce the manse debt in 1868. In the list of contributors was the Duke of Edinburgh, who visited Newcastle that year. Regular morning and evening collections and the weekly offerings by envelope were introduced, and this system still constitutes the backbone of the church s finance. Another progressive move was made in 1868, when the old oil lamps were replaced by gas. To celebrate its 81st anniversary, the Brown-street Congregational Church will hold special services on Sunday. The preachers will be Rev. Joan Hore in the morning, and Rev. Absalom Deans at night. There will be an anniversary dinner in the school hall on Thursday.
