It was constructed by William Eaton in 1869-72, using sandstone quarried on the site. Services of worship have been conducted since 1872. The church uses the most recent liturgy of the Anglican Church of Australia, A Prayer Book for Australia.
The current rector is Reverend Patrick Collins, with assistant minister Ross McDonald. The church conducts services every Sunday at 10am.
