Oasis Christian Centre, Long Eaton

Oasis Christian Centre is a Grade II listed Pentecostal church in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.

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 and it opened as a Primitive Methodist chapel on 1 October 1898.

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 £ in 2023) and opened on 22 March 1906. The contractor was John Bull, builder, of Long Eaton.

It was sold in 1980 and reopened as the Elim Pentecostal Church. 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.
