History

In the late 1800's evangelistic meetings were held at the Gymnasium in Western Road, Hove, and a little church formed there.

This group of 40 Christians then had the vision to build a new church and with the support of a benefactor, Mr.George T. Congreve, manufacturer of 'Congreve's Cough Elixir' the current church at Holland Road was built. The new church had the capacity to seat 800 people.
