Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Centenary of Congregational ChurchPrint Page 
Huge population growth was expected in Alma with the proclamation of four neighbouring settlements being Alma North, Alma Plains, Alma and Alma South. A few kilometres further north saw the township of Alma Plains grow, and the Congregational Church (1866) was an integral part of the town. However membership numbers waned during the early 20th Century and the church was relocated to Alma and continued services until 1972 when it was sold to a local resident.
