Presbyterian Church

Presbyterian Church, North Belt, Christchurch. The first services in connection with this church were held at the Oddfellows' Hall, Montreal Street, where they were carried on by the late Rev. David McKee. About 1878 steps were taken to build a church suitable to the increasing population. The present site was therefore purchased, and a church was erected, the whole costing about £2000. The building then erected is now used as a Sunday school and lecture hall. The present new church, built in brick, with facings in Oamaru freestone, cost about £4000, and has accommodation for 670 persons. It has a fine new organ, which cost £400.
