Mataura Presbyterian Church

Mataura Presbyterian Church was built in 1878, and was considerably enlarged six weeks later; but as early as 1868 services were held in the settlement. The building, which is of wood and iron, has accommodation for 220 adults. It stands on part of a quarter-acre section fronting Kana Street, and the site was presented by Messrs Pollock Brothers, in the early days. An additional page 1087 section of the same size has since been acquired. Services are held every Sabbath morning and evening, and there is a Sunday school, with 123 children on its roll. Fortnightly services are also held at Tuturau and monthly at Ferndale and Waimumu, in the public schools. The manse stands on the Wyndham Road, where there is a glebe of nine acres. The Rev. George McDonald is minister in charge.
