The church was designed in 1959 by Eddie H Oribin while in association with Sidney George Barnes. Eddie Oribin was born in Cairns in 1927. In 1953 he became a registered architect and formed a partnership with SG Barnes in Cairns, where they undertook residential and commercial work and church commissions. After Barnes' death in 1959, Oribin continued his work until 1973 when the office was closed down. Other churches designed by Oribin include the Gordonvale Church of England, St Paul's Anglican Church in Proserpine and the Mareeba Methodist Church.
