Surface Hill Uniting Church, Heritage church in Surface Hill, Gympie, Australia.
The brick Gothic Revival structure features lancet windows, stepped buttresses, and a steeply pitched roof at the intersection of Channon and Reef Streets.
Built in 1890 to replace an 1868 bark hut that served as the first Methodist place of worship during the Gympie goldfields development.
The church holds a George Benson organ from Manchester, initially crafted for James Lord of Brisbane and later purchased for 250 pounds.
The stone retaining wall along Reef and Channon Streets was constructed during the 1937 Depression using local relief workers.
Eight foundation stones were laid during construction, accompanied by an earthen jar containing church documents placed beneath the building.
