St Columba's Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church at the corner of Venn and Keane streets in Peppermint Grove , a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The suburb of Peppermint Grove was originally predominantly Scottish, and thus Presbyterian. [5] An earlier building, called the St Columba's Presbyterian Church Hall, was built on Venn Street in 1896. [6] It was the first church building in Peppermint Grove and also acted as the only school in the neighbourhood until the construction of the Cottesloe State School. [6]
A few years later, land on the corner of Venn and Keane Streets was donated by Alexander Forrest to build the current church building. [5] It was designed by architect Louis Bowser Cumpston. [5]
Construction began on 20 November 1909, when the first stone was laid by F. A. Moseley.
Worship services take place every Sunday at 10am. [2] [3] The current minister is the Rev. Kwangho Song. [1]
