In 1895, a site was identified in Wellfield Road (which was then a country lane surrounded by fields), where a chapel was built, coming into use in 1897.

Much of the money needed to build the church was raised with relative ease, and it opened on 20 June 1900.

Weekly evening services ceased, and the church no longer has a choir, though retains a small Sunday school.

[5] The dwindling attendance figures observed by the church have been expected with changing religious attitudes.

The church hall is used as a canteen, activity and meeting space for other organisations and a crèche during Sunday services and throughout the week.

The service consists of four or five hymns, Bible readings, a message or activity at the start, a sermon and a reflective prayer period.

Children usually leave before the sermon and join the junior church in one of the side rooms.

The church also has a pop-up shop every November and December for 'Cards for Good Causes' with profits going to numerous different charities.
