Designed by Andrew McPhee, who was responsible for several of Alice's more notable buildings, the church was officially opened on the 11th of May, 1969.
The church reflects mid-twentieth-century approaches to ecclesiastical design, favouring clear forms and functional planning suited to local climatic conditions.
As part of Alice Springs’ civic and spiritual life, the building contributes to an understanding of how modern architecture was adopted for religious use in the Northern Territory during a period of population growth and consolidation.
This project was awarded the "Enduring Architecture" award in the 2017 Northern Territory Architecture Awards.
Heritage Status: Not Listed.
