As population was growing rapidly north-west of the Regent church, the Northcote Church urged the Home Mission Committee to begin work in the locality, and some of its members helped the Committee to secure a building site in Gilbert Road. Since no hall was available for meetings a W.B. Church costing 1441 pound,including land, was erected in 1927. A good congregation gathered and a Church was constituted in 1928, of which the Rev. D.S. Harvey became pastor. ... Since the inception of the cause the population has increased greatly, and the wisdom of establishing a Church in the popular residential suburb is unquestioned.
