The Kangaroo Point Uniting Church, currently situated on Linton Street, was formerly a Wesleyan Methodist church and was opened by Rev W.G. Taylor in 1903. The original timber church building, behind the current church, was constructed in 1866.

Wesley Methodist worship in South Brisbane was begun by Reverend William Moore from 1847. By the late 1850s a grant of land in Stanley Street was made to the Church by the government. This position was not considered suitable and another site, now occupied by the Woolloongabba Post Office, was purchased.

The original wooden Wesley Church was erected upon it around 1866. In 1880, the church became the head of the Stanley circuit and a Sunday school was commenced in 1883. The land granted by the Government and the property in Stanley Street were eventually sold to buy the current site; an acre of land between Linton and Princess Streets, and the wooden church was then moved onto the site.

The new brick Wesley Church was built during the ministry of Rev W. Powell. It was opened on 22 November 1903 by Rev W.G. Taylor, a former minister of the congregation, who was then superintendent of the Central Mission in Sydney. The new church was built by contractors J. Stewart & Co to a design by architect Henry W. Atkinson.

The old church was devoted to the work of the "flourishing" Sunday School. In 1977, when the Uniting Church was formed by the amalgamation of Congregational, Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, the church was renamed the Kangaroo Point Uniting Church. It continues to serve the local Uniting Church community.
