The hall was used by Romford Town mission until about 1933, when it was apparently taken over by the Bretheren.1

Dave Wheal, who attended the church as a child in the 1940s recalls:  "Us children from that area had to go to every Sunday.  Every week we would have to go, and we had a stamp put in a book, and if you had 'X amount' we once a year went to Lea-on-Sea for a tea, etc.  Also, I can very well remember on Sunday, the stage was opened, and there was water, and anyone 14 or over could be Ducked Under."
