Details: In the early sixties the Rev. W. Bain, of Newcastle, opened monthly Presbyterian services at Belmont. A few families of his charge took up land there, and settled as the pioneer settlers of that beautiful district on the banks of Lake Macquarie. This arrangement continued for a year or two. The meetings were held in a large room at the late Thomas Williamson s home, who, with his excellent wife, favoured and helped the work. As a few more families — both Methodist and Presbyterian — settled there, a small building was erected as a half time school and church, and the primary education was thus attended to. This arrangement continued for a few years. A public school and teacher were placed there. The church building was enlarged, and this congregation and West Wallsend were sanctioned as a Presbyterian parish. The Rev. R. E. Davies was the first settled minister. When he was translated to Gulargambone, Belmont remained vacant for a time. In 1903 Miss Williamson moved in the matter and collected funds, and in November of that year the pretty new church was opened. It is now joined with Boolaroo, where monthly services were commenced in May, 1903, by the Rev. T. S. Crawford, M.A , successor to the Rev. Wm. Bain, at Hunter Street, Newcastle. Early in 1904 it was felt desirable to secure a weekly service here, and with that end in view the co-operation of Belmont was sought and secured. From July of that year an agent from Sydney has conducted regular weekly services, and at the present time he resides at Boolaroo. The work has gradually progressed there. A fine central block of land is now paid for, and steps are being taken to have a suitable church erected.

Details: In 1895 Mr. Bain, after thirty-five years of faithful service, retired from active work. He occupied the Chair of the General Assembly in 1887, and for thirty-seven years was Clerk of the Presbytery of the Hunter, from which position he retired in 1904. The Presbytery made him a valuable gift of plate upon his retirement. The Rev. John Downey, M.A., B.D., was the next minister, being inducted in November, 1895. In April, 1902, he was translated to Victoria. The Rev. Thomas S. Crawford, M.A. — one of our own students- is the present minister, having been inducted in February, 1903.
