The Church was built in 1951, replacing a timber one built in the early 1920's. The earlier hall is still on the grounds. This brick and tile church was opened and dedicated by Archbishop Hale on 15 June 1952 and was the second church to be built on the site, replacing the original timber one. Designed by architects Cross and Bain, this postwar Ecclesiastical building is located in a prominent position in Ashgrove and has some unusual features including heavily arched roof timbering and a columbarium outside the sanctuary. The church has continued to provide a place of worship for the local Anglican community for more than fifty years.
On the western wall of transept of the church is a polished pink and grey speckled granite Foundation Stone. The inscription reads:
+ A.M.D.G. +
this stone was set
and blessed by
REGINALD
Archbishop of Brisbane
on Sunday 1st July 1951
