To mark the Church’s 125th birthday, a book entitled Different Tracks was published in 1998 written by Libby Wager. A commemorative service was held in 2019 to mark the Church’s 150th anniversary Treasure in a little country church. Despite many obstacles, the Church has endured and is proud that it helped to build a community which still retains a friendly, rural atmosphere. The congregation which includes many descendants of pioneering families endeavours to play an active Christian role in the evolving character of the Brookfield community. The Church’s Outreach Activities include holding a Country Market in September each year, providing Breakfast for participants in the annual Bush Christmas Fun Run and holding a twilight Christmas Carols Service.
