History and Architecture:
From 1880 to 1887 the North Rockhampton Methodist Circuit remained under the control of the Fitzroy Street Primitive Methodist Church. In 1887 North Rockhampton was declared a separate Circuit, and the Rev.I.Castlehow was appointed as its first Minister. He later became President of the Queensland Methodist Conference in 1908. The first Quarterly Meeting was held in 1887, with Mr.Joseph Dawson as first Circuit Steward.
An improved and enlarged Church was opened on Saturday, July 2nd.1931 by the Chairman of the District, the Rev.T.Bibby, and the Rev. A.A. Mills, M.C., who came specially from Brisbane to take part in the ceremony and officiate at the Sunday services.
