Townsville Baptist Church, Heritage-listed church building in Townsville CBD, Queensland, Australia

Townsville Baptist Church is a single-storey rendered brick building on the corner of Sturt and Fletcher Streets, built directly onto exposed granite. Its rectangular form has a small front entrance porch facing Sturt Street, five pointed arch windows along each side wall, and a timber hall attached at right angles to the rear.

Baptist worship in Townsville began in rented rooms in January 1888; in 1891 the congregation bought the Sturt Street land from Duncan McVean for £500. A disused Congregationalist church was re-erected there and opened in November 1893, then damaged by Cyclone Leonta in January 1903. The present church, built from about 30,000 secondhand bricks carted from a powder magazine at Brookhill, opened on 23 September 1922. The Baptists sold it in 1981 and moved to Kirwan.

The Baptist congregation began worship in Townsville in January 1888 in rented rooms, and in 1891 bought the Sturt Street land from Duncan McVean for £500. Since about 1985 the building has been used by the Potter's House Christian Fellowship, so the site has hosted worship almost without interruption since 1893.

The building sits at the corner of Sturt and Fletcher Streets in Townsville's city center with clear views toward Ross Creek. The location is easy to find and offers space to appreciate the structure from different angles.

The 30,000 bricks used in construction came from a disused powder magazine near Townsville rather than a new production source. This material reuse shows how the congregation resourcefully used available materials from the local area.
