 In 1916 the Henty Parish became a fully sanctioned charge. But prior to this ministry in the Henty area continued to operate. The first service in Henty was held on the 20th May 1894 in the paint room of the blacksmith's shop. Later services were held in the Public School until the Union church was built in 1915.
