Fenwick Street Baptist Church was a Baptist church located in the centre of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The heritage-listed bluestone church was constructed in 1868, and the building was used for Baptist services until 1922.[1][2] It has since been sold and turned into offices.[3]
History
The Baptist first worshipped in a small wooden church located in Spring Street, Little Scotland (present-day Geelong West). In 1854, the congregation moved to a wooden church in Fenwick Street, which was then replaced by the present bluestone church in 1868. In 1922, the congregation moved to a Baptist church in East Geelong, and the church was eventually used by the Church of Christ, Scientists[2] until at least 2005, when the church was converted to offices.[3]
