History

The Church of Christ congregation was formed on 23 September 1883 when a handful of idealistic Christians gathered in Brisbane to found a new church. [3] The founders were linked by their support of Australian evangelist, Stephen Cheek. Cheek died in early 1883 before the church began. The church was a leading congregation within Churches of Christ in Australia with roots in the Restoration Movement. The church has been known as Disciples of Christ, Ann Street Church of Christ, and Your Church in Brisbane City.

The church building was built in 1881 for the United Methodist Free Church. When it was offered for sale in 1898, the church's minister William and his wife Martha Clapham led the church to purchase it for £1,100 in September 1898. [4]

The church was active in starting other Brisbane churches. In 1912, it held an outreach to Hawthorne and established a Sunday school that in 1914 became the Hawthorne Church of Christ. [5] The Sunday school secretary of the Ann Street Church in the early 1920s was Australian army chaplain John Kenneth Martin. [6]
