This church was built to replace the old church which was too small and in a bad state of repair. But even though a foundation stone for the new building was laid in 1881, progress was slow. The last service in the old church was held on Sunday, 5 January 1902 and a week later on 12 January the new church was dedicated by the Bishop of Dunedin, the Right Reverend S T Nevill. This lovely church building is sited near the bridge over the Aparima River.
