A Tin Tabernacle mission church was built to serve the rapidly growing population of Mile Oak in 1936, under the direction of Revd Ernest Holmes, Vicar of St Nicolas Church, Portslade. This was replaced by a new church building in the 1960s; the foundation stone was laid on 7th June 1963 and the new building dedicated on Saturday 28th October 1967. It was built by Portslade builders George Comber Company to the designs of M.G. Alfold of Clayton, Black & Daviel. It became a conventional district Church in 1969, and a Parish Church in 1994. The Parish united with St Nicolas & St Andrew in 2013. Brown brick with mono-pitched roofs and a distinctive band of tapering clerestorey windows. Exposed bell located above main entrance.
