| DESCRIPTION |

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]
