 This building has remained the home of the Methodist Church congregation (now Uniting Church of Australia) in Two Wells.
-The Disciples of Christ Chapel was built as a result of work by Mr Henry Warren who emigrated from England and settled in South Australia in 1854.  In 1867 Mr Warren and his brother in law Mr Cowan erected a flour mill in Two Wells   Mr Warren was a prominent lay preacher and under his leadership a Disciples of Christ congregation was established and a chapel built in early 1869. It is understood that Mr Samuel Nicholls was the builder.

-In 1882, when the Primitive Methodists acquired the building the Chairman of the Primitive Methodist Trust was Rev. William Jenkin who was resident minister in Two Wells from 1882 - 1885. The design of the church shows its previous association with the Disciples of Christ.  Behind the communion table is a large archway which led through double doors into the baptistery for baptism by immersion. The double doors have been replaced with a wall and the baptistery has long gone.

 In 1900 amalgamation between the Primitive Methodist Church, the Bible Christian Church and the Wesleyan Church resulted in the Methodist Church being formed.
