The Maylands Baptist Church at 102 Seventh Avenue is on the corner of Coode Street and Seventh Avenue, Maylands. This church is listed as Heritage Place 2419.

History of this church from 1910 to 1942

Opening of a jarrah church in late 1913 represented the culmination of 16 months of work by the congregation, which had been meeting in temporary premises. The building and grounds cost 680 pounds in total.

In 1916, the Maylands Baptist Church hosted the annual meeting of the ratepayers of the Perth Road Board.

Special services were held in 1934 to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of the Maylands Baptist Church.

Mr. A. Duncan (one of the three remaining foundation members of the church) opened additions to the church in 1936.

The church was crowded on the Sunday night in 1938, when Mr. Alfred Reid (formerly a well-known jockey in Victoria) began his preaching campaign in Western Australia.

In 1942, the Maylands Baptist Church asked that the Perth Road Board construct air raid shelters in Coode Street between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue opposite the church hall.
