St Andrew's Uniting Church, Brisbane
St Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a heritage-listed church building of the Presbyterian denomination, built in 1905 at 131 Creek Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on the corner of Ann Street. Following the merger of Protestant nonconformist churches in Australia in 1977, St Andrew's became part of the Uniting Church and became known as St. Andrew's Uniting Church, Brisbane.
==History==
The congregation originally met in a church in Wickham Terrace. However, the railways required the land for extensions to Brisbane's central railway station.〔(''Brisbane Courier'', 24 June 1899, p. 5 )〕 A competition was called for the design of the new church. It was won by the architect George Payne,〔(''Brisbane Courier'', 14 October 1902, p. 7 )〕 who proposed a Neo-Romanesque-style church. The design was simple and severe and did not find favour with many, who had expected a Gothic-style church. However, it is regarded as one of the Southern Hemisphere's finest examples of the Neo-Romanesque style.〔A Guided Tour: St Andrew's Uniting Church, Brisbane〕
The first service was held in the church on Sunday 27 August 1905, conducted by the Rev. W. Sweyn Macqueen.〔(''Brisbane Courier'', p. 4, 26 August 1905 )〕
