A chapel belonging to this interesting Victorian charismatic group survives at the corner of Westoe Lane (now Road) and Wharton Street; it was last used in the 1950s. It seated 180 people.
The present building on the site looks of some age, but has been much altered and does not show any obvious ecclesiastical features. Brick with stone quoins, slate roof.
In 2018 the building is occupied by Empire Designer Wear and Karens Hair Studio on the ground floor and Euphorx Beauty & Holistic Clinic on the first floor.

Description
This church appears to have started in Wapping Street before moving to Reay Street in 1888. The mission was opened in 1888, seated 200, and probably closed in 1947, the area being redeveloped soon after.
It may also be the same as the Heron Street Mission listed in directories of the period, as Heron street was adjacent to Reay Street.
The grid reference here given (NGR NZ 3596 6760) is for a Mission Hall on the west side of Heron Street shown on the 1890s OS 10ft:1 mile town plan.
