St Andrew’s Berwick Uniting Church, Victoria’s oldest church, was established in 1857 by Rev Alexander Duff (an Irish Presbyterian minister, based in Cranbourne). In the beginning, a wooden church was constructed. The beautiful heritage building that we see today was built on the 15th of February 1885. It was a truly visionary building, built to house more people than ever lived in Berwick.
