Methodist services began in Aspley about 1918 in the Aspley Assembly Hall. The foundation stone for a church was laid on 8/10/1932. The hall was opened on 23/11/1958. The Apley Methodist Church and St Philip's Presbyterian Churches continued to worship as separate congregations following the formation of the Uniting Church in 1977. On 1/1/1984 both congregations joined together. The foundation stone for a new church was laid on 14/10/1984. The original church was removed to make way for the new church.The new church opened on 24/11/1985. More historical information/photographs of  the former and present churches/congregations are invited. Photographs uploaded 17/5/2017.
