Brief History
Easington Colliery Methodist Church was built in 1913 and was one of the three chapels in Easington Colliery.
In 1942, the Wesleyan Church joined, and it then became known as St John’s Methodist Church.
In 1956, the third church, Bourne Methodist joined, and the name was changed again to the one used today, Easington Colliery Methodist Church. The church was renovated in 1967, when the choir stalls were removed and the pews were replaced with chairs.
Since December 2023, the premises have been leased to the charity Focus Easington. The building has been refurbished to create a community hub known as The Welcome Centre.
