The history of the church dates back to the war period, when a chapel was erected at Enoggera camp by the Soldiers' Church of England Help Society. It was used as a soldiers' church, the ornaments and furniture being donated in memory of men who made the supreme sacrifice. The altar, cross, vases and credence table were dedicated to the memory of Earl Kitchener. When the Beerburrum Settlement was established the church was transferred there, but with the failure of the settlement and dispersal of the settlers the chapel fell Into disuse. This year the congregation at Maleny sought permission to have the chapel dismantled and re-erected as their parish church, and, permission being granted, the Malenycongregation has become the custodians of the memorials.
