St Johns is located in the Southgate complex. Entrance is either via the podium level (Opposite Sheraton Towers) or at 20 City Road Southbank. The original St Johns building was built in 1928 and located at 50 City Road on the south side of the present church. It was demolished in 1989 to make way for the Southgate development.

The beautiful, modern church building was designed by David Cole, an architect from Buchan, Laird and Bawden. The design of the church links architecturally with the Southgate complex. The furnishings in the small chapel are mostly from the old church. Whilst primarily a centre for worship, St Johns was designed to serve a range of functions.

It is used as a venue for concerts and a centre for meetings and functions. Celebration Arts, a group of Christian artists hold regular meetings and exhibitions at St Johns. For its many visitors the church provides a place for friendship and support. The chapel is available for private prayer and meditation.
