The land for the church was donated to Bishop John Strachan and the Anglican Diocese of Toronto by Patrick and Ann Parkin.

The Gothic revival structure was designed by Reverend William Darling, the Anglican minister for Scarborough township.

The small church sat some 60 people, and for over a century it served the rural and sparsely populated farmers of the region.

Sunday mornings at 8:00 AM, there is a smaller service offered according to the rites of the Book of Common Prayer as used by the Anglican Church of Canada.

St. Jude's also offers a food bank service to the community via its Deacon's Pantry outreach ministry, that operates on Wednesdays.
