| The history of worship in the area dates back to the 19th century. In 1864 Rev. Robert Hartley arrived in Rockhampton to expand the work of the Methodist Church but it wasn’t until after 1868 that he went west and established a church at Stanwell and Westwood, with the first worship services held at Bushley in 1875 at the home of Mr and Mrs Isaac Coombs. The Coombs later donated the land for a community hall, which was erected at about the turn of the century, with worship continuing there until the brick church was opened in 1959. Although it’s been rebuilt, the hall still stands behind the current church today. |
