The church had its beginnings in 1906, with worship services sometime later being held in the Public Hall at Chermside. A stump capping ceremony for the building of a wooden church was held on 25/7/1914, with the first service being held in the new church building on 11/10/1914. The church was dedicated on 15/11/1914 by His Grace, Archbishop St Clair Donaldson. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photograhs uploaded 26/2/2017.
