In 1869 the Church of England constructed a timber church on the corner of Palantine and School Streets; the first rector was Reverend Henry Jephson Campbell. It was known as the Church of St Peter. This church became the parish hall when a second church was built in Lady Mary Terrace in 1887. This was then superseded by the third and current church, built in brick, on the corner of Lady Mary Terrace and Amy Street ({{Coord|-26.1887|152.6697|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|display=|name=2 July 2020}}).<ref name=":0" />
