This precinct became the centre ofChurch of England worship in the local area. After World War I, housing estates began to alter the character of Yeronga so that it became an outer Brisbane suburb. To reflect this change and to meet the needs of the new residents, this brick Christ Church was built and opened in 1923, The new church included a memorial that was dedicated to the Yeronga men who had paid the ultimate sacrifice in the recent Great War of 1914-18.
