During the 1960s, all the Methodist Churches in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale joined the Byford Presbyterian Church to form the North Murray United Parish at this church. In 1977, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches united nationally, and this church became the Armadale-North Murray Parish of the Uniting Church of Australia.
