Spring Garden Street, Royton, Oldham, OL2 5QE
(Formally Westwood and Salem)
Welcome
The original Westwood Moravian Church was officially opened in October 1865 and just four years later was replaced by a larger and more permanent building. The history of the church, published for the church’s centenary, records that in 1881 the Lancashire District Conference asked Westwood Moravian Church to consider opening a preaching station. Nearby Royton was considered, but no station was opened.
126 years later, Royton became the new home of the congregation, following the closure and sale of the Westwood property in July 2005. The congregation moved to the former Salvation Army building in Royton, which has been renovated and turned into a modern multi-purpose building. The first service in the new building was held on 1st April 2007.
The Sunday morning Family Services at 11.15am, include Sunday School and other activities for children.
There is a weekly Coffee Morning on Wednesdays, at 11.00am.
The Moravian Women's Association Circle (MWA)meets in Church on the second Wednesday in the month at 1:00pm unless otherwise announced.

It holds regular social and fundraising events.
The church is a member of Churches Together in Royton, and shares in many worship services and joint activities with the other churches in the area.
