In 1866 and English gentleman named Charles Gillam came to the settlement of Spring Creek with his family. Immediately after erecting his new home he made it available for the holding of church services, and he was elected warden. In 1870 Mr Gillam removed the schoolroom from Allora to be used as a church and schoolroom at Spring Creek. In 1873 the then owner of Heading ton Hill Station gave to the church the present site. On 8th March 1876 the new church was dedicated and opened by the Bishop of Brisbane, Dr Hale. In 1926 the Spring Creek church was seriously twisted out of its position by a heavy thunderstorm and was entirely restored to its proper position. The 75th Jubilee was celebrated on Palm Sunday, 18th March 1951 by Archdeacon Glover. At a meeting on 19th September 1957 it was decided to erect memorial gates to the pioneering Gillam family. The Ven. Archdeacon Hoog conducted the dedication service on 26th April 1958 and blessed the gates and marble memorial tablets.
Time moves on, and at a meeting on 26th September 1969 it was decided to close St Matthew's Spring Creek Church. The church was demolished by voluntary labour and the material sold at auction in 1972. The altar is now a side altar at St David's Church, Allora and the baptismal font is in the Allora museum. The gates at Spring Creek were left as a permanent reminder that the site was a place of worship for many years. In 1974 a bronze plaque was placed there bearing this message;- "This was the site of St Matthew's Church of England Spring Creek." Dedicated 1976. Closed 1969
