History

The Methodist congregation started out in a building in Hartley Road. Once a site was obtained in Derby Road a temporary church was designed by Ernest Reginald Ridgway. The memorial stones were laid on 9 July 1898 [3] and it opened as a Primitive Methodist chapel on 1 October 1898. [4]

Once the congregation had raised sufficient funds, a new church was designed by the architect George Baines FRIBA and R. Palmer Baines of London. This was built at a cost of £3,020 (equivalent to £345,587 in 2023) and opened on 22 March 1906. [5] The contractor was John Bull, builder, of Long Eaton.

It was sold in 1980 and reopened as the Elim Pentecostal Church. [6] The Long Eaton Elim congregation moved here from their previous building in Bonsal Street, Long Eaton. In 1988 this became the Oasis Christian Centre.

Organ

The church had a 2 manual 18 stop pipe organ by Albert Keates of Sheffield. [7]
