Built before 1900. Located corner Rooty Hill Road South & Church Street, Rooty Hill.

A typical late 19th century neo-gothic style church. Constructed of brick with a corrugated iron roof, side buttresses and small entrance porch in white stucco. The gable ended roof in galvanised iron has decorative Italianate timber barge boards.

Built on land at the foot of Rooty Hill donated by Charles McKay. Originally a baptist church, in 1925 it was sold to the local Presbyterian community. In the 1980's became an independent church.
