Horwich Christian Fellowship had its beginnings in 1957 when Pastor Roy Beresford purchased Aenon Chapel.  He faithfully ministered there for many years. He continued to minister after reaching retirement age, and seeking a secure future for the fellowship, some members of another local church amalgamated with Aenon in 1995.

Sadly, in 1996 Roy Beresford passed away. Later that year the fellowship came under the leadership of John Goulding.  The church grew in numbers and John had the vision to see the church in a purpose buit facility.  With this in mind, Aenon Chapel was sold and the fellowship moved into rented accommodation at Rivington House, while at the same time changing its name to Horwich Christian Fellowship.

In April 2000 John left to begin a well earned retirement.  At this point Phil Worsley took over the pastorship and followed the vision of establishing the fellowship within its own purpose built building.  Phil oversaw the purchase of the pensioners hall on Rock Street, which then led to our current building.

At the start of 2007 Phil left the fellowship, and at this point Peter Minney (Roy Beresford's son-in-law) took on the position as senior leader untill the church had a new pastor. Then in September 2008, Mike Faun was called into the role of pastor, and to lead the church into a new vision.
