The foundation stone was laid in November 1883 by the widow of Revd George Lea, vicar of St George's Church, Edgbaston. The church was built between 1883 and 1885 in a Perpendicular Style to designs by the architect J.A. Chatwin.[3] It was consecrated on 30 April 1885.
A parish was created out of the parish of St John's Church, Ladywood.[4] In 1906 part of the parish was transferred to St Augustine's Church, Edgbaston.
The organ was installed by Nicholson and Co in 1889. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
The worshipping community meet weekly on Sunday mornings with kids and youth groups. As of September 2022, their lead pastors are Rev Dr Katie Stock and Rev Edd Stock.[6]
