| History
of Queanbeyan Branch
There have been members of the Church in Queanbeyan since the 1960s.
They met variously with Canberra Branches and as a separate unit in rented
premises for many years. It wasn't until the early 1990s that Queanbeyan
finally gained its own dedicated chapel.
Queanbeyan Branch has been part of Canberra Stake since its inception
in early 1995. Its boundaries take in a number of small outlying settlements
as well as Queanbeyan itself. Attending members currently number about
50, although this is highly subject to fluctuation (about 35 attend at
any one time). Around six Young Women attend meetings and activities.
The Branch President is President Matthew Moir, who has held the position
since November 1998. |
