The Meeting Place, or Murrumbeena Uniting Church, rests on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people, who have recognised Spirit in this place for generations upon generations. They have cared for Country, and imbued it with story. At the hands of second peoples, they have been dispossessed. Together, we commit ourselves to working towards reconciliation, and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples about how to live well on Country.

"130 years ago on the evening of Sunday 13th July 1890, a disused hay and corn store in Murrumbeena was the site of the first Presbyterian Worship Service in the district. A little wooden Church was erected by members in Dunoon Street in 1893, removed to Murrumbeena Road (east side) in 1903, extended, and used for Worship until the present Church was opened in May 1934 named 'St. Giles'.

After combining with the local Methodists in 1975 (whom began in 1912), the congregation became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. In July 1990, several hundred present and former members attended a joyful Centenary Celebration. Since then the Parish as changed name and shape several times, to become Koornang Uniting Church in 2003; renamed to Murrumbeena Uniting Church in 2017.
