Comments

The Tingalpa Pioneers' Chapel building is owned by The Diocese of Brisbane, although it is now only used for private ceremonies. The chapel is no longer consecrated. However, on Saturday 27/10/2018, the 150th anniversary of the consecration of the Christ Church Anglican Church building by Bishop Edward Tufnell was celebrated.  No other details are known about the former church. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 16/10/2017.
