This co-operating parish church in Waverley was built in 1981 to accommodate both the local Presbyterian and Anglican congregations.
Combined services had been regular since the mid-1970s. In 1980 it was decided that it would be more practical to demolish both the existing churches and re-build on the Presbyterian's Weraroa Road site. The parish halls from both churches were amalgamated into the design of the new church complex.
It was designed by Eales Company (Whanganui) and the contractor was Mr I.A. Ross of Hāwera. (Waverley Heritage Inventory 2002)
