What is now known as The Congregational Church in Chipping was built in 1838 for use as an independent non-conformist place of worship. There is a stone on the front of the building above the door which has the inscription:

PROVIDENT CHAPEL

ERECTED BY SUBSCRIPTION

MDCCCXXXVIII

Unfortunately after about 40 years the chapel went into decline and was closed in 1882 for around 18 years. It was re-opened by a group of young men from Grimshaw Street Congregational Church in Preston who spent much time cleaning and restoring it so that services could be held again, and so it became a Congregational Church.

Currently we are an active church with an average attendance at Sunday worship of between 50 and 60 which includes a number of children, around 20 of whom meet for Sunday School. 

OUR PURPOSE IS TO SHARE GOD's LOVE

Our morning service is family focused when we are led by a lively worship group and visiting speakers. Every morning service is followed by refreshments and once every other month we have a bring and share lunch after the family service.

The evening service is more traditional lead by visiting speakers and followed by the youth meeting.
