The first Baptist church was formed in Brisbane in 1855. The first Church building was opened in Wharf Street in 1859. The church then moved to the present site on Wickham Terrace. This impressive building stands on one of the highest parts of the city and was opened to the glory of God in 1890. The first minister was called in 1858 and up to the present the Church has been served successfully by sixteen ministers. The membership of the Church is almost 300, and a number are presently engaged in missionary work in various places throughout the world.
