Oasis Christian Centre is a Grade II listed[1] Pentecostal church in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
The Methodist congregation started out in a building in Hartley Road. Once a site was obtained in Derby Road a temporary church was designed by Ernest Reginald Ridgway. The memorial stones were laid on 9 July 1898[3] and it opened as a Primitive Methodist chapel on 1 October 1898.[4]
Once the congregation had raised sufficient funds, a new church was designed by the architect George Baines FRIBA and R. Palmer Baines of London. This was built at a cost of £3,020 (equivalent to £410,310 in 2023) and opened on 22 March 1906.[5] The contractor was John Bull, builder, of Long Eaton.
It was sold in 1980 and reopened as the Elim Pentecostal Church.[6] The Long Eaton Elim congregation moved here from their previous building in Bonsal Street, Long Eaton. In 1988 this became the Oasis Christian Centre.
The church had a 2 manual 18 stop pipe organ by Albert Keates of Sheffield.[7]
