The church was founded in 1879 as a chapel of ease for Christ Church, another church in Hawthorn.[2] The main building was designed by George Wharton in the Decorated Gothic architectural style in 1882-1883.[3] It was built by James Anderson in the 1880s, using bluestone and freestone dressings.[3] The first sermon took place in 1883.[2] However, the entire church building was only completed in 1907, to the designs of architects H.W. & F.B. Tompkins.[3] Other buildings include the Large Hall on Burwood Road, which used to act as a Sunday School and is now SPL indoor Cricket and the 'chapel' for the Sunday 6pm service and other uses, and the Small Hall, a former nursery school which is now used for Sunday 10am kids church, Thursday playgroup and other uses such as choir and dance lessens.[3]
In 2007, the pews were replaced with padded seats.[3] Since 2012, the church has received donations from Louise and Graham Tuckwell of the Tuckwell Foundation.[4]
