A larger church was soon needed and building work began on a new church on Middleton Road in 1868. This was opened on 12 May 1869 and remained in use by the Moravian Church until July 2005, when the congregation moved first to St Luke's Anglican Church in Buckley Street, Chadderton and then to the former Salvation Army building in Royton.

The Church building is currently in use by Firwood Church, a free evangelical church.
