[2] As Auckland expanded areas that were previously farmland started becoming urban and would require their own Church for services.

In 1915 the Presbytery of Auckland decided to host evening services in the Masonic Hall on Woodside Road.

During the war and for sometime following it the Church helped send food parcels to Britain and Europe.

The Church decided to begin restoration work the same year following completion of the memorial hall.

In 1956 it was decided—due to growth—that the Church be extended, a new pipe organ be installed, a new manse on the corner of St Leonards and Cedar Roads be built, and a new Sunday school would open in the parish.

The Church's plot was extended so a car park could be installed, a cloister was added that ran between the tower and the sacristy, the building was expanded to allow more seating, and a spire was erected on the top of the tower.

[8] In December, 2012 the Church relocated services to the memorial hall after being identified as being at risk of collapse in event of a serious earthquake by Auckland Council.

[10][11] Seismic strengthening options have been too expensive for the congregation and as of 2024 the Church building has remained unused.
