At the start of the 1960s a number of successful productions were mounted by the Eastwood Methodist Youth Fellowship at the Eastwood Methodist Church. Building on the enthusiasm of these productions, members of the church who were past youth club age approached the Rev Robert A. Bell, Minister at the time, seeking permission to form a musical society affiliated with the church.

A musical society associated with the church was, in those days, somewhat unusual, but supported by Rev Bell and his wife Gwen, and the Circuit Stewards, Jack Kefford and Bill Southwell, the Eastwood Methodist Musical Society (EMMS) was born in 1962. In 1973, its 10th anniversary year, EMMS received official recognition as a Methodist Church organisation. In 1977, following Church Union, the Society changed its name to the Eastwood Uniting Church Musical Society (EUCMS) and became the Eastwood Uniting Church Musical Society Incorporated in 1997.

Many charitable organisations, nominated by members, have received donations totalling in excess of $272,000.

EUCMS has enjoyed the reputation for many years of being one of the best organised and smoothly run amateur theatrical societies in Sydney, and this is undoubtedly due to the dedication and loyalty of its members at all levels over the past fifty years.

With the continuing support of the Eastwood Uniting Church, audiences and members, the Society cannot fail to prosper in the years ahead.
