Our Story.
The Anglican Parish of Tamborine Mountain was originally part of the Beaudesert Parish. In 1987 it was established as a separate Mission District, and since 1991 has been a non-beneficed Parish.
The Vicar in Charge of the Mission District was Rev. Leslie Duncan. In 1990 the Venerable H. St. John Edwards was appointed Priest-in-Charge. He retired in 1995. The Rev. Dr. Murray Harvey was commissioned as Priest-in-Charge in December 1995. He resigned from the position in April 2002 to take up an appointment in England. The Rev. Shan Vierow was inducted as Priest-in-Charge from June 2002 until June 2005. The Venerable Allan Paulsen was Priest-in-Charge from October 2007 to December 2012. Archdeacon Valerie Hoare was Priest-in-Charge from June 2013 to July 2019. The Rev. Thomas Hunton was commissioned as Priest-in-Charge in 2022, but he returned to England at the end of that year.
There are two centres of worship in the Parish.
St. George’s at Eagle Heights on Tamborine Mountain
St. Luke’s at Canungra
Services have been held on Tamborine Mountain since 1900 and the original St. George’s church was a community hall, relocated and rebuilt on the present site in 1938. The present St. George’s church was constructed and consecrated in 1992 and was the result of a bequest from a parishioner, Miss Jean Dunlop who died in 1990. The old church is now the church hall.
Parishioners from Tamborine Village at the northern base of Tamborine Mountain worship at St George’s.
Services have been held in Canungra since 1908 and St. Luke’s church was constructed debt free and dedicated in 1936. St. Luke’s was consecrated at its 75th anniversary in 2011.
Until 1987, Beechmont was part of the Southport Parish. Services were held in the local school until an agreement in 1990 with the Nerang Roman Catholic Parish led to services being held in St. John’s Worship Centre. In 2011, regular services ceased at Beechmont due to lack of numbers. Home church was provided monthly to Beechmont residents till mid 2019.
