In 1886, when the Essendon Methodist Church was founded, the area was dominated by gigantic trees, deep gullies and reed-fringed lagoons. Mount Alexander Road, "the main street," was dusty in summer. In winter, the mud was churned axle-deep by bullock drays. From this unpromising beginning sprang what is today the North Essendon Uniting Church, which continues to carry Christ's message to the world. The Church continues to minister to the community from which it sprang, as well as refugees and other multicultural parishioners. Worship is on 10:00 am Sunday.

St Thomas' is a parish of the Anglican Church of Australia, following in the Evangelical tradition. The vicar is available for marrages, baptisms and funerals. The interior of St Thomas is pleasant. The Church was rededicated by Sir Dallas Brookes, Governor of Victoria, in the 1950s. The tower, which is the most prominent feature of the Church, commemorates the sacrifices of local men and women in World War II. St Thomas is prominent Moonee Ponds landmark, in the Heritage precinct.

The most recent time we visited St John's was for an orchestral concert. The church is a marvellous venue for such performances, due to its great acoustics. On a more prosaic level, there is good parking and public transport is convenient making it suitable for occasions such as weddings and funerals.
