Comments
The former Moorooka Lutheran Church, began on 20/5/1945 when services commenced in the Moorooka State School led by Pastor EM Kloeden.
The "church building was dedicated on 20 November 1949 after being designed and constructed by congregation member Les Pinnow. As building supplies were in short supply at the end of World War II, the church was built through the re-use of materials from military huts and galvanised iron from the Ekibin Hospital. The building was used by the Lutheran church for worship until it was closed in 1982 ".
