History and Architecture:

In 1945 it was decided to sell the Caniaba Church and land and to erect a new Church on a new site.

Late 1956 and early 1957 saw the completion of negotiations which enabled the Trustees, after having called a public meeting to assess our people's wishes in the matter to purchase three blocks of land on the corner of Canterbury and Diary Streets, to serve as the Central Church Site.
