History and Architecture:
Services were first held of the site commencing 16 May 1841. Four churches have been erected on the site since that date. The first was 1841 - 1851 then 1852 - 1864, 1861 - 1905 and finally 1905 to today. The church erected in 1905 was as a result of an earthquake in 1902. It was felt the church needed significant renovation and as a result of a significant gift from Mr Z. Tysack, a new building was erected.
A Foundation stone was laid by 13 May 1905 by Mrs McFarlane.
Of Gothic design, and built of brick, it has a nave of 19m x long by 12m wide, and a chancel, 11m by 7m.
