St John the Baptist Anglican Church, Bulimba

St John the Baptist Anglican Church, Bulimba, Heritage-listed Anglican church in Bulimba, Australia.

St John the Baptist Anglican Church is a timber building on Oxford Street featuring a corrugated iron roof, lancet windows with colored glass, and a distinctive entrance porch supported by low brick piers. An adjacent parish hall built in 1965 was later enlarged to host community meetings and events.

Elizabeth Coxen gave £100 and land for a church, but that site was sold in 1888 and the present central corner bought. Architect John Hingeston Buckeridge, diocesan architect from 1887, designed the timber church, which T Whitty built for £700. Lady Musgrave laid the first block on 23 June 1888; the first service followed on 29 September 1888, and Bishop William Webber dedicated the church on 2 June 1889.

The church serves as a gathering space where the Anglican community comes together for worship and neighborhood celebrations. Its timber structure and colored windows have become a familiar landmark that residents associate with local life.

The church stands on a level corner site at 171 Oxford Street, with the entrance porch facing the street at the western end. A retaining wall along the Oxford Street side was built in the 1930s with Depression relief labour after the street level was raised. The 1965 brick parish hall lies further along Oxford Street, and the original hall site beside the church is now a car park.

The bell in the belfry came from the Maheno, a ship wrecked off Fraser Island; Reverend Thomas Tomlinson acquired it in 1936. The reredos and timber panelling were installed in 1937 for the church's golden jubilee the following year. The pulpit, installed in 1915, commemorates Corporal Frederick Storey, who died at Gallipoli.
