History
In 1897 four blocks of Crown land were given to the residents of Kingswood for a church meeting place and cemetery (later not needed due to the dedication of Penrith Cemetery). The church was opened in 1898. The contractor was Jack Melville with ironwork given by local blacksmith James Wainwright. The porch on the western side was added later. Opened in 1898, the church was not consecrated until 1959. A Sunday school hall was completed in 1958 but was demolished.
