Numurkah District Early History and Wesleyan Influence
Numurkah District's early religious scene centers on John Wesleyan influence and the emergence of the Merit Hill Church. The arrival of the Reverend Shard in Wunling around 1874 shaped local Protestant practice, with Bible Christian services starting in Numurkah at the hotel dining room led by Reverend J O'Beard. A wooden church opened in 1879, built from Euroa-sourced materials, with the first service held on December 21, 1879, officiated by J Orchard and W H Hosken. founders and early figures include Rock Cliff, Mackenzie, Edney, Fowler, Drackard, Green, and Meiklejohn.
