History
The suburb of Peppermint Grove was originally predominantly Scottish, and thus Presbyterian.[5] An earlier building, called the St Columba's Presbyterian Church Hall, was built on Venn Street in 1896.[6] It was the first church building in Peppermint Grove and also acted as the only school in the neighbourhood until the construction of the Cottesloe State School.[6]
A few years later, land on the corner of Venn and Keane Streets was donated by Alexander Forrest to build the current church building.[5] It was designed by architect Louis Bowser Cumpston.[5]
Construction began on 20 November 1909, when the first stone was laid by F. A. Moseley.
Worship services
Worship services take place every Sunday at 10am.[2][3] The current minister is the Rev. Kwangho Song.[1]
