== History ==
The life of the church congregation began in 1849, when a group of Christians from various denominations, who had been meeting informally in a sail loft in Port Adelaide, formed themselves into the 'Congregational Church of Port Adelaide'. The services were led by Rev. Matthew Hodge who was asked to cut-short his journey to Victoria (from England) and stay in South Australia instead. His first service was held on 30 September 1849 in the sail loft, but later that year a small stone church was built on the corner of St Vincent and Lipson St (Couper-Smartt, 2003:375)
The congregation met in three different buildings before the present church was built between 1867-1868. It was reported that this early community, "fostered such an ecumenical spirit that there are even reports of Jews attending its meetings in Port Adelaide" (Couper-Smartt, 2003:375).
In 1978 the church became part of the Uniting Church in Australia.
