 The first Primitive Methodist Church in this district was built on the [[Mallala (Butler) Station|Mallala (Butler) Station]] in the late 1850s. Two miles South West of Mallala in an area known as Feltwell, a Primitive Methodist chapel was built with the [[Feltwell Cemetery|Feltwell Cemetery]] adjacent. The Chapel was also used as a school and was in operation from at least 1869. A third Primitive Methodist church was built in the township of Mallala, and was opened in November 1874 to accommodate the needs of the people living in or near the town, as the Feltwell Chapel was always overcrowded.

 After Sir Samuel had declared the stone well and truly laid, Mr A. Dunstan thanked him on behalf of the church members. The following gentlemen also took part in the ceremony: Revs G. Hall and J. Thorne and Mr. T. Nevin. The new building is being constructed by Mr G. Cheeney, and the architect is the Rev. T.G. White. When completed it will have a most attractive and effective appearance. Its external measurements are to be 48 ft by 30 ft., and the height from the floor to the ridge will be 39 ft.
 After the stone had been laid an adjournment was made to the [[Mallala Institute|Institute Hall,]] where about 500 people sat down to tea. In the evening a crowded meeting was presided over by his Excellency. In an interesting address Sir Samuel Way referred to the fertility of the district and the obligations farmers owed to Professor Lowrie for the introduction of superphosphates. But however much material wealth they might accumulate, the true purpose of life was unattained without due recognition of their spiritual obligations. He hoped their generosity would be such that when the new church was opened it would be absolutely free from debt. The other speakers were the Revs. I. Rooney, H. Howard, and T. G. White. Several anthems were excellently rendered by the choir, under the baton of Mr F. Dingle. The Rev. J. Dingle presented a financial statement to the meeting, showing that the collections at the Sunday services, conducted by the president of the Conference, and the total of that day's proceedings amounted to £63. This with the promises and subscriptions already received, brought the total amount received or promised to date up to £435. The total cost of the new church was estimated at £650, exclusive of sand and stone, which the members were generously supplying.
