It appears to be the only extant example of Bishop Broughton's involvement in church design in Victoria.

Christ Church, Geelong is of aesthetic significance for its remarkable, high quality collection of stained glass windows, in particular the fine examples of the work of Ferguson and Urie.

Together these demonstrate the development of stained glass design from the early 1872 examples to the late 20th century work.

The mural is also of significance as a rare example of this aspect of the work of important artist, Christian Waller.The Geelong parish pre-dates the Diocese of Melbourne and was founded on 7 October 1843, when the Bishop of Australia, William Grant Broughton, laid the foundation stone at the north-east corner of the present nave.

A memorial mural was commissioned from Christian Waller to "a good churchman" and was created in this church in 1942.
