The first church was a small weatherboard structure built in 1861 on the northwest corner of the current church grounds. The land was given for this purpose by Josiah Strickland. Strickland also gave £500 to the future church-building fund. By 1870, the building was in such a state of disrepair that it was decided to organise fundraising functions so that a new church could be built. In 1874, tenders were called for the construction of the nave, designed by an architect named Benjamin Backhouse. The tender of Rodgerson and Co was eventually accepted. The new church was opened for service in 1877 at a cost of £2050.

 

The building is designed in Victorian Gothic style and was formed from locally quarried rusticated stone. In 1909, the chancel, vestries, and bell-tower, designed by local architect J. H. Bates, were added. Although the spire is incomplete, the squat tower is finished in a louvered, flat-topped belfry. The stained-glass windows were placed by Lyon, Cottier & Co. The roof was formerly clad with shingles, but in 1933 these were replaced with slate tiles.

 

Reymond’s flour mill in Flint Street was purchased in 1925 with the intention of building a parish hall with the stone, which matched that of the church. The cost of a stonemason was found to be prohibitive, so the flour mill was resold and the project was shelved. The parish hall was eventually built and opened in 1931. Comprehensive additions connecting the Parish Hall to the Church opened in 1969 and included a porch at the front of the hall, kitchen, kindergarten room, toilet blocks, rectors office, office, flower room and connecting porch.
