Pioneer Church

The small church, now called the Pioneer Church, was built in 1885 on a donated half acre of land which faced Kenmore Road near its junction with Brookfield Road. In the mid 1900s the building was relocated to its present position at the back of the (then new) large church on Moggill Road.

Enquiries about Weddings in the heritage listed Pioneer Church are welcome, but note that the church holds a maximum of 70 people comfortably, in normal times, but far fewer depending on Covid restrictions in place at the time. 

In 2021, the church was given a double purpose with the opening of the InSpired Art Gallery. This space is available for small intimate art exhibitions and anyone interested should contact the church office on 3378 4505 on Thursdays and Fridays.
