The church sustained damage during the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and the June aftershock. The parish fundraised and also received funding from the Christchurch Earthquake Heritage Buildings Trust to restore the church and to strengthen the building up to 67% of the national building standard. The restored church was reopened by the Bishop of Christchurch, Victoria Matthews, on 19 February 2017. In February 2021 the St Barnabas Centre was reopened.
