History

The original building acquired by this church was the former Mitchelton Methodist Church Hall. It was purchased and moved, without a roof, to the site in early 1949. It was re-roofed and officially dedicated on 4 September 1949.

In 1951 a new hall was added at right angles to the rear of the building. Another extension was made in 1962, continuing the hall in a similar alignment to the first building.

Rarity

Aesthetic

Criterion E

The place is important because of its aesthetic significance

as a substantial traditional timber framed, weather boarded and corrugated roofed former church hall, with later sympathetic extension, located on a prominent corner location, it has aesthetic significance in its own right, and within the adjoining streetscape.
