The land for the Dublin Anglican Church was donated by Mr George Bliss West.
The Reverend W.P. Marshall was in charge of St Peter's Anglican Church at Mallala and he was requested by the Second Bishop of Adelaide the Right Reverend G.W. Kennian to supervise the building of an Anglican Church at Dublin. He named the building Christ Church.
Mr George Bliss West built the church from limestone quarried on his property two miles south of the township of Dublin. The lime was also burnt on his property.
It is believed that the second Bishop of Adelaide Reverend G.W. Kennian, his chaplain Rev. H.G. Rawstone and Rev. W.F. Marshall (Priest of the Home Mission Society) conducted the first service in Dublin Christ Church 1886.
