Crumpsall Park Methodist Church was based on the site of the present-day Methodist Church Crumpsall, and was built in a more traditional style, complete with spire and several rooms.
A Methodist Chapel had been present in the triangle formed by Oak Road (now Ash Tree Road), Lansdowne Road and Moorside Road since 1886. The original chapel was replaced by the grander building (pictured left) in 1909 and whose doors closed after the final service on September 8th 1974.
During the building of MCC, the Crumpsall Park congregation worshipped at St Matthew’s Church each Sunday in a service of their own that preceded St Matthew’s own Sunday morning service. Members of the Cheetham Hill congregation joined with their friends from Crumpsall also.

It would be almost 18 months before the new Church opened its doors for worship.
