The Former College Chapel Methodist Church The
Church
of God of Prophecy sits on the corner of Hamilton
Road and Dickenson
Road.
It was
founded by students from the Victoria Park College
with the mission of
bringing Methodism to Longsight. As the stone
on the front of the church shows, it opened its
doors in 1907. At that time it was called the
"United Methodist Church". The Victoria Park College closed in 1934 but the church continued to operate until 1978. As the sign above the front door indicates, the church is once again open and home to the Church of God of Prophecy, serving an evangelical congregation from the local Community.

Road is the church's Sunday School. |
