History of Stanway Evangelical Church

The church is situated in Chapel Road, opposite the Doctor's Surgery.

In 1878 a group of Christians were meeting in a barn that was situated in Warren Lane.  Attendance grew to such an extent that there was a need for a permanent building.  This was built in Chapel Road in 1886.

In 1955 the denomination became known as the Union of Evangelical Churches (U.E.C.).  We are also associated with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (F.I.E.C.)

The church premises were completely rebuilt in 1991 (pictured to right), and offer comprehensive facilities for the requirements of church members and the community it serves.
