History and Architecture:
Land around Poowong was opened up for selection in 1874. The Foundation stone for the current church was laid on 31 May 1962 by the right Reverend D.A. Garnsey Bishop of Gippsland.
The building had been relocated parallel to the road behind the cream brick church constructed in 1967 to the design of Louis R Williams, Architect. This church, with a glazed terra cotta tiled gable roof is also set parallel to the road, close to the street frontage.
