The Church

St. Andrew’s Uniting Church is a stone building located at 61-63 Soho Street Cooma. It includes a church, porch, vestry and clock/bell tower. It was opened in 1882 as a Presbyterian Church. The west wall includes a beautiful stained glass window, and other features include a timber pulpit, choir, and 283 kg bell. A single manual pipe organ was installed in 1967, while in 1997 the tower clock was replaced and flood lighting of the stained glass window was fitted. More modern features of the church interior include a hearing loop, sound system and digital projector.

In December 2023, an extension to the church was completed to the stage where all the rooms could be used by the church. The extension includes two unisex toilets, an airlock hand washroom, a kitchenette, and a small meeting room with seating for up to 10 people

The manse is adjacent to the church and is of brick, built in 1891. It was extended in complementary style in 1998.

The hall complex was erected in two stages with the foundation stone being laid in 1959. The main hall includes a foyer, kitchen, toilets and showers, and a disabled access toilet. A smaller upper hall, known as the upper room, is suitable for smaller gatherings and meetings. The lower hall is used as the church office and includes a separate minister’s office. It is also used for church council, Elders and committee meetings. The hall complex is available for hire to community organisations – it is regularly used by the Snowy Mountains Performing Arts Academy (SMPAA) and University of 3rd Age (U3A).
