Government surveys of the area now occupied by Avonsleigh, Emerald, Monbulk and surrounding townships set aside space for places of worship as part of plans for permanent settlements after the conclusion of the gold rushes towards the end of the Nineteenth Century. The first churches in what is now the City of Casey/Cardinia Shire area were located in Cranbourne and Berwick, so although the Avonsleigh Church of Christ was the fourth church to be built in the region, it was the first in the hills. The Church is located at 17 Avon Road, Avonsleigh. The trees visible in the photograph appear at the front of the property, running parallel to the road, suggesting that the photograph depicts the rear of the building. Although it is known that a Church of Christ was built on the current site in 1887, more research is needed to ascertain whether it is the original building. Churches of Christ are autonomous congregations that emerged from the American Restoration movements led by Barton W. Stone and Thomas Campbell. One source suggests that the Churches of Christ were established in Australia as early as 1845, when a British immigrant who had learned of the denomination in New Zealand joined a Scottish Baptist Church in Adelaide who shifted focus as a result of his testimony. By 1865 there were five churches in the Southern region of Australia, with 253 adherents.The photograph is significant as an image of Avonsleigh Church of Christ as it appeared towards the end of the Twentieth Century.
