A Brief History of WBC
BEGINS AT A STRATEGIC TIME With the rapid development of Welling from a simple
thoroughfare to a district housing 50,000 people in the 1930’s W.J.Stevens
planned an estate north of the railway and he gifted the site for the erection
of the present church. The church traces its beginning to 1935 when it first met
in Belle Grove Road and subsequently in a
room above the co-operative store. From the stone laying on October 1938 to the Opening in
April 1939. With timely help from the disbursement of funds from the closure of
Creek Street Mission Deptford and generous gifts from the church at Plumstead
instructions were given to the
builder Mr Stevens with £2000 in hand. In September of that year Britain was at
war with Germany-and the church became a shelter
and its members a resource and support for numerous families now resident
on the edge of the new London overspill.
