History and Architecture:

Land on the corner of West Burleigh Road and Burleigh Street was purchased in September 1925 on behalf of the Methodist Church in Queensland. It was formerly the site of the Smith's boarding house Burleigh Lodge which was relocated to Marine Parade.

On Sunday 23 December 1928, a Methodist church was officially opened by Reverend James H. Heaton (President of the Methodist Conference). It was 40 by 26 feet (12.2m by 7.9m) and situated "on a hill with a beautiful outlook over the ocean". The church was built by Mr Sommerville.
