About our Church
Situated on the main A666 which passes though the centre of Darwen on its way from Bolton to Blackburn and although the road bears the number of the Beast, there is no sign of beastliness in the active life of the Church.
Somewhat anachronistically named – since it was built 25 years ago – New Church is an amalgam of many smaller Churches that formed the various Methodist Circuits in Darwen, including the large 'Railway Road' Church (now a supermarket). The legacy from this meld of Churches has blessed New Church with an adventurous spirit and adaptable premises to match. Always ready to try new things and welcome new people.
The Church enjoys a congregation with a wide age range and has a number of enthusiastic children and teenagers to keep them in order. They enjoy their special relationship with Central URC and enthusiastically enter into Partnership events.
