While being an 'Active' church, Services are held once a month, on the third Sunday, at 3 pm; with it being used on the 2nd Sunday of the month by the Anglican Church at 3 pm.
There is no wheelchair access for this Church (unlike the Anglican church at Thalgarrah.)
One reason for the once a month Services could be the declining population of Wollomombi.
From a Wikipedia entry for Wollomombi: (
