The name Tenthill is comes from the name of a pastoral property established by 1845 by Phillip Friell.[3]

Congregational services were initially held in the home of F.C. Kingston, the manager of the T.B. Cribb's Tenthill property. In June 1881 the congregation called for tenders the construction of the Upper Tenthill Congregational Church on land donated by James Logan.[5] The plans and specification wereprepared at no charge by Mr. A MacGregor of Ipswich and it was constructed by Mr H. Percy for £78 10s. The church was 28 by 16 feet (8.5 by 4.9 m) and opened on 18 December 1881.[6] It closed in November 1979. It was relocated to the Gatton Historical Village in 19 August 1984 where it was restored and rededicated on Sunday 4 November 1984.[7] It is used as a wedding chapel.[8]

In 1902, a Baptist church opened in Tent Hill.[9][10]
