History and Architecture:
A local architect (at that stage records do not say who) was engaged to build a 60ft by 40ft building, ‘outer walls to be completed and a partitioned divide, 14ft by 40ft in the interior ‘ for the Sunday School and vestry’.
The foundation stone was laid on April 9th, 1927 by Mrs. Chorley. The ladies guilds of Epping and Pennant Hills together with local ladies made afternoon tea. Fifty pounds was donated for an organ fund.
The church opened for service on September 17th, 1927.
The Church is now an Early Educational Centre.
