Summary

Church of Christ, Point Sturt. Point Sturt was formerly known as Sturt Peninsula and sits on the banks of Lake Alexandrina, located at the end of the Murray River just north of the Cooroong. The original inhabitants were the Ngarrindjeri, many of whom died from European diseases at first exposure in the early 1800s. Point Sturt Church has the honour of being the oldest rural congregation of Churches of Christ in Australia. A small building was erected at Point Sturt in 1861 and opened free of debt. Early evangelistic efforts saw 42 people added to the congregation in one year alone
