"Founded in 1964, we celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2014, and our history goes further back than this…

Pre-1947 After meeting in each other’s houses, our first members began to meet at Nicholas House, Wetherby Lane.
1947 The Reverend J Yeoman Muckle started to lead services in Woodlands School (next door).
1948 The Members’ Society was founded the following year.
1950 We purchased the land for our first church for £740,
1952 and opened the doors to the first Woodlands Church two years later (the School Hall).
1954 With a Sunday School 300 strong, more space was needed. So we built the Middle Hall.
1964 With a growing congregation we needed a purpose-built Church, and the Church in its present form was opened in 1964.
