Way back in 1902, the denomination known then as the Wesleyan Church joined with three other denominations (the Primitive Methodists, the Bible Christians and the United Methodist Free Churches) to form The Methodist Church of Australasia.

Seventy-five years later in 1977, the Methodist Church of Australasia joined with two other denominations (the Presbyterian Church of Australia and the Congregational Union of Australia, though not all congregations of either) to form The Uniting Church in Australia.

Our church property was known initially as the Crown Street Wesleyan Chapel, then as the Crown Street Methodist Church. In 1959 we formally adopted the title of Wesley Church, Wollongong.

Then, when the Crown Street Mall was created in 1987, it became known as The Church on the Mall (officially the Wollongong Mission of the Uniting Church in Australia) and is still known as The Church on the Mall to most people, though earlier names (particularly Wesley Church) are still used by many people.
