Fairfield Presbyterian Parish Hamilton
Tenders were called for the Gordonton Church in March 1918.
Fred Daniell of Daniell and Cray designed the St Andrew's Hamilton Church, 1913-1914, and later the Gordonton Church in 1918. The contractor was Thomas Clements of Otahuhu. Mr Sayers, a carpenter, and elder of St Andrew's Church, acted as clerk of works.
The Gordonton Church was constructed of "Clark's earthenware blocks manufactured in Hobsonville in West Auckland, and finished in smooth cement plaster and roughcast. The roof was topped with Winstone's "Taumaranui tiles". The Kauri Timber Company supplied the interior rimu woodwork.
The Rev Robert Mackie of St Andrew's Hamilton led the first services at the Gordonton Church on 6 October 1918.
Fairfield separated from St Andrew's Hamilton in 1958. The Gordonton Church became the Oaks Christian Centre.
