A street information board records: Before 1930 ministers stationed in Meekatharra made regular visits to Wiluna. Then, as the town began to grow, the Australian Inland Mission worked with the Methodist Inland Mission to establish a 'proper church' in Wiluna. The block was purchased in 1934 and the church was probably built soon afterwards, The concrete blocks have been laid in alternate rows, forming a decorative feature to what otherwise would have been a very plain building. The steeply pitched corrugated iron roof is typical of churches of that era. The 1930s saw the arrival of an Anglican Church (relocated from Day Dawn) and the construction of a Catholic church further down Scotia Street. The last resident minister was the Rev. Don McCaskill who flew a Tigher Moth out to surrounding properties to attend to his parishioners. In addition to his bible he always took a set of baby scales and a dental kit, with which he performed fillings and extractions. This is the only church remaining in Wiluna, and in recent years it has been home base to the local Seventh Day Adventist congregation
