Wesley Mission has its origins in the first Methodist Church established in
Sydney in 1812.
This church was renamed the 'Central Methodist Mission' in the early 1880s,
developing a unique 'word and deed' ministry focussing on social justice and
evangelism for the poor and needy of Sydney.
The Uniting Church was created in 1977 from a union of Methodist, Presbyterian
and Congregational Churches and the Central Methodist Mission then became Wesley
Mission.
The new 500 seat Church in the heart of the city, built in 1991, is the successor
to a famous small Wesley Chapel which was opened under the leadership of the then
Superintendent, Rev. R.J. Williams, in 1934. For fifty years it provided a mid-city
centre for worship experience, but was then demolished and rebuilt as part of a
major redevelopment Wesley undertook in the heart of the city.
