(Note presence of Union Chapel on right)

The first church, the Union Chapel in Angas Town, German Pass, was built in 1844 with money donated by George Fife Angas.  It was intended to be used by all religions. The foundation stone was laid on 3 November 1843 by Mrs Evans, Angas’s daughter. In 1855,  When this chapel became too small, the Methodists built their own church in Penrice The remaining congregation built a new and larger Union church in Angaston.  After the split of 1861 it became a Baptist Church, until 1928, when it fell into disuse.   It is now the Zion Lutheran Church.
