About this service
Christ Church is a Baptist-Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP). This means we are a joint Baptist-Methodist Church, linking with both The Methodist Church and The Baptist Union of Great Britain. We have a combined history that stretches back to the early 19th Century.
Ramsbottom Methodist Church has been meeting since as far back as 1825. After some growth, they became too big for their one storey building and eventually built what became known as Market Place Methodist in 1874. This is the large building that sits opposite the urn in the centre of Ramsbottom (now known as Adderstone Mansions).
