The current church building dates from 1928 and is the oldest church in the diocese. In 1922 the church started arranging land on which the church could be built. In 1934, the All Saints' Middle School [yue] was built next to the church to provide education for local children and to use as a centre for evangelism work. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in 1941 to 1945, the church was confiscated by the Japanese. After the Second World War, the church building was allowed to be used by believers again. In 1951, two more school buildings were built next to the church. Since 1961, the school complex has included a playgroup, a primary school and a secondary school.
