Carrum Downs Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the oldest Presbyterian and Reformed Church in Australia and became such on 22 October 2010 following a petition from members of the Frankston Reformed Fellowship to the Southern Presbytery. The history of the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia goes back to the earliest days, the denomination in Victoria being founded in 1846 by Melbourne's first official Christian minister, Rev James Forbes.

The Frankston Reformed Fellowship was led between 2004 and 2010 by Rev David Kumnick who was the minister of the Frankston Presbyterian Church of Victoria 1991-2004. Mr Kumnick continued to supply the congregation with Rev Dr Rowland S. Ward as Interim-Moderator. A site was purchased in 2014 and a place of worship opened debt-free in April 2018 with funding from the Knox Congregation. Mr Kumnick's ill health meant that Dr Ward was the regular preacher from April 2018 with the Rev Ian Hall becoming locally resident supply minister from 16 February 2020. Rev. Hall ended his service at Carrum Downs in 2023.
