The History of Mills Hill Baptist
Mills Hill Baptist Church was founded in 1845 and has been a part of our local community ever since, the current church building being on Mills Hill Road. The church initially used a room formerly a barn behind Mills Hill House for worship and Sunday school work. A new building was erected on land next to Mills Hill House in 1849.
Chadderton School Board took over the running of the school in 1894, leasing the building from the trustees of the church, and a new school building was opened in 1902. The Infant Department was separated from the Mixed Department in June 1905, and the Infants and Mixed Departments were amalgamated on 1 December 1922.
The Day School was closed in 1939 and the children transferred to Mills Hills Primary school on Baytree Avenue.
Right from the start, with the opening of the area's only school in a barn, the church has sought to be good news as it shared God's love both in words and in all sorts of practical ways.
December 30th 1981, there was a fire within the church building. The fire was reported at 22:44pm by the local vinegar works next door.
Times change, but in the 21st century, we still aim to bring God's vibrant love to the heart of our local area.
Below, you will find a history of Mills Hill Baptist Church, covering the years 1845 to 1995. Dip in and enjoy discovering our history.
As you get to know us a bit better, our hope and prayer is that you will become part of the next chapter of this community of people discovering and sharing God's amazing, life-transforming love!
