Rev. John Jefferson formed a new church in 1872 and a new building here was in use from December 1876. A building fund for a larger church was started in 1892 but it wasn't until 20th April 1900 the corner stones for the present church were laid by Mrs. Richard Whittaker, Alderman H. W. Trickett Mayor of Rawtenstall, Alderman D. Greenwood of Bacup and Mr R. H. Crabtree of Southport. The church held its first service on the 10th September 1902 having had a build cost of about £4,000.
