History

In 1923, the Wyalkatchem Trayning Parish was established under the
reverend FM Oliver. He was instrumental in the establishment of numerous Anglican churches throughout his Parish including Mukinbudin. Plans for the church were passed in February 1927, and it was ready for use in May. It was not consecrated, just licensed as a Mission Church. In 1929, Mukinbudin came under the Mission District of Nungarin, with Reverend Courtney who held weekly services at Mukinbudin. On 10 January 1951, the original church on this site was destroyed by a storm. The local people organised donations and fundraising, and the new church was constructed by local labour. It was consecrated by Archbishop Moline on 12 May 1953, and the first service held on 7 June 1953. The stained glass window at the front of the church is a memorial to the late Mrs Winsome Watkins.
