Emil and Ane Jensen bought a property at the corner of Scrub Hill Road and Lower Mountain Road. After meeting other Christians in the local area they started a Brethren Assembly. Their first Brethren Assembly meeting in about 1898 was held under the large fig tree on their property. Emil went on to build a Gospel Hall on his land which was used by the local community until 1922 with some people travelling up to 20 kms to attend the services. By 1909 regular attendance numbers had reached approximately 30 people. A new larger Gospel Hall (11m x 5.5m) was built on the corner of Hunter Street and Torquay Road. Emil Jensen donated the flooring for the new hall.

A newspaper article in the Brisbane Courier
dated Friday  9 Oct 1931 read as follows:-

She is survived by two sons, Messrs. Louis Jensen (Mundubbera) and Emil Jensen (Nikenbah), and two daughters, Mesdames G.J. Jorgensen (Brisbane) and F. Kindt (Maryborough).
