| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Hindmarsh Christian Church Complex |
| Registered Name |
Hindmarsh Christian Church Complex |
| Significance |
The Hindmarsh Christian Church is significant as a rare example of a non-denominational Christian chapel. It represents 150 years of a congregation with links to the first decade of life in one of the State's first settlements, subdivided by the Colony's first Governor. Only three (counting the original c1845 Hindmarsh chapel) other such churches are known to survive in the metropolitan area and none are still fitted out as churches. The link with the original Chapel across Hindmarsh Place only serves to heighten the significance of this complex and its associations with the founding of Hindmarsh Village.
The congregation of this Church traced its roots to a small band of Christians who erected a non-denominational Christian Chapel (registered place 13693) fronting Lindsay Circus (site of the soccer stadium) c1845. In 1876 the congregation moved across the street to a new church on the present site. A substantial separate lecture hall and 10 Sunday School classrooms were built in 1882, and in 1903 a new (the present) brick and stone church was erected to replace the 1876 one. The aging congregation reluctantly closed the church in 1996. [HB 2/06]

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
