- Concord Wesley Church was built in 1907 as a Methodist church. In 1977 the Wesleyan Church and the Congregational Church merged to form a uniting church. The building in Concord became obsolete and was subsequently used by the Korean congregation as Cheil Uniting Church.
- In 1935 an organ was placed in the church by the American firm Aeolien, opus 1329. The stops of both manuals are shared and can be selected on both manuals. The organ was built as early as 1915 for Hugh McIntosh, a New South Wales MP who lived in a house on Bellevue Hill. The organ was sold to the church in 1935, and was transferred by S.T. Noad. It was dedicated on September 4, 1935.
