History and Architecture:
In May 1905, the Edwardstown mission ceased and Edwardstown Baptist Church took its place. The church grew further over the years and in 1910, bought a piece of land on South Road, Edwardstown to build a new building.
During the years the layout of the church property was a bit haphazard, with some buildings on South Road, some at Price Street and two tennis courts leased from the council at Marion Street.
In November 1952 a house was purchased in Ormond Avenue, Edwardstown to serve as a mance for Pastor Wotton.
in 1988, the Church was able buy the site of South Road Primary School from the Education Department. This is the site where the church currently stands.
