The church started life in 1836 as the Bloomsgrove Mission founded by Castle Gate Congregational Centre.

The Mission's Ronald Street premises were then used by the Bloomsgrove Social Club.

A new church was erected in 1894 to designs by the architect Richard Charles Sutton.

In 1904, 187 members transferred from Castle Gate Congregational Centre to Bloomsgrove to form a new church, which was renamed Norton Street Congregational Church.

In 1917 the church expanded by merging with the Old Radford Mission on Cobden Street.
