A Potted History
The Church was founded in 1896.The present building opened in 1908 as part f the Leigh Primitive Methodist Church. Of the various factions of Methodism in existence, the Church had decided to join the ‘Prims’. When the Leigh Circuit joined the new United Methodist Church in 1932, the Church remained with them, only joining the much nearer Cadishead Circuit in 1939. Centenary Methodist Church, as it used to be known, has been in this Circuit and its successors ever since.
