History and Architecture:
The earliest record of a Baptist church meeting in Mooroolbark can be found in The Southern Baptist 1st January 1898, where it states that Mr HH Jeffs, the pastor of Lilydale Baptist Church, had opened a new outpost at Mooroolbark which promises to be a great success.
In 1952, the new church building was opened. The service was presided over by Rev Manning and Mr Montgomery, both from the Victorian Baptist Home Mission Society, and the preacher was Rev JE Newnham.
