The first settler arrived in the district in 1836 & gold was discovered in Tuena Creek in the 1850's. Tuena grew rapidly to service the needs of miners & was declared a town in 1859. This is one of three churches in the village which is now just a fraction of its former size.
The Binda Parish is responsible for the service at Tuena.
