‘Harrapool’, the home of Mr and Mrs Donald Ross, was the location of the first Presbyterian service from 1845 to 1861. This service was conducted by Rev. William Hamilton of Goulburn.

1947 was the year that the congregation of St Mary’s decided that a bigger church was needed and a plan was launched to start the process and to start fundraising.  St Mary’s is the renovated church at 20 Hill St  that was sold by the Presbyterian Church in 1954 to a private buyer.

St Mary’s Presbyterian Church, Hill Street, Taralga, was built in 1861 and used until the current Church was built. The first service was conducted by Rev. William Ross.

St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church, Bannaby St, Taralga, was dedicated in 1954 and is the present place of worship. The first Minister at St Stephen’s was Rev. R.O. Walder. The foundation stone was laid by Rev. Victor Bell in 1953.
