'The first meeting for breaking of bread and divine fellowship on the Tweed River was held in Mr & Mrs W.J.Stewart's house at Brays Creek August 14, 1907 when eight disciples formally of Bungawalbyn Church of Christ gathered around the Lord's table and partook of the glorious emblems of redemption. They were Mr & Mrs J Stewart, Miss Emily and Mary Stewart, Mrs Williams and Fitz Robinson, Mr John and Ebenezer Stewart.' Mary wrote.
In 1910, Sunday School was organised with 15 children attending. Fred Brown became Treasurer and remained there for 50 years. Offerings averaged between one shilling and six pence and two shillings per week. The first meeting in the new chapel was on 27th January 1913.
In 1948 a new era began with the appointment of R.F.Goode as headmaster of Murwillumbah High School. Some members began meeting in his home and that of Fred Brown in Murwillumbah.
In 1955, after the Tyalgum chapel was sold, land was acquired in William Street Murwillumbah and later a building in Riverview Street was purchased from the Seventh Day Adventists. This was transported to the site in William Street, and after extensive alterations, extension and painting, an attractive addition was made to the church buildings of the town.
The official opening was performed on 6th July 1957, with the first baptism being that of Bill Later, a cabinet maker who made many of the furnishings still in use today. There were 23 children in Sunday School at that time.
In 1958, we purchased a residence, known as the 'manse' for the full-time minister's family.
In 1976, a block of land opposite the church was bought for use as a car park. 1988 saw the opening of the church extensions.
The Murwillumbah church provided assistance to churches at Tweed Heads and Southport during their establishment phase and has for many years given 10% of its offerings to home and overseas missions.
