History:

In the year 1890, a plot of land on Whitecross road was purchased for £250 and soon after a chapel made of tin appeared, this was the first site used for worship with direct links to the current day church.

On the 7th August 1908 the first foundations were laid for the modern day church. This building is still in use by the church, although not for the weekly worship sessions. The first service in the new building was held on the 17th December 1908, as the building was then complete.

In October 1929, the building of the current day worship sanctuary had begun and it was completed shortly after. This sanctuary (albeit with a number of modifications to modernise the building) is still in use for the weekly worship sessions.
