The Objects  of  the  Society  are:

To stimulate interest in the history of the Uniting Church and of the three churches – Congregational, Methodist & Presbyterian – which came together in union in 1977.

To promote the collection and preservation of historical documents and records, and the recording of reminiscences of church life.

To publish historical articles and lectures.

To co-operate with other societies interested in the history of South Australia.

The Society is governed by a Council which reports to the South Australian Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia.

Membership is open to individuals and organisations interested in the aims of the Society.

Membership includes the News-letter, published three times a year, which  contains  various  features relating to the history of the Church in South Australia.

Two lectures are normally given each year and most are published for sale. 

From time to time, walks or tours to various churches and other locations of interest are organised.

The endowed Gordon Rowe Lecture is presented biennially.  The Rev Gordon Rowe was the inaugural president of the S.A. Methodist Historical Society.
