Brief History
Easington Colliery Methodist Church was built in 1913 and was one of three chapels in Easington Colliery.
In 1942 the Wesleyan Church joined and it was then known as St. John’s Methodist Church. In 1956 the third Church (Bourne Methodist) joined and the name was changed yet again to the name it is known as today Easington Colliery Methodist Church. The Church was renovated in 1967 with choir stalls removed and the pews replaced by chairs.
