In its early days it met in the Anglican Church House and so was known locally as Church House. It was founded in 1976 by Bryn Jones, one of the early Restoration/British New Church leaders, by an amalgamation of three small Bradford churches: a charismatic Brethren Assembly based at the Bolton Woods Gospel Hall an independent charismatic church made up mostly of former Baptists who had been unable to continue in their church because of their charismatic beliefs and the New Covenant Church, a fellowship originally under the apostolic leadership of G. LIFE Church has its roots in the Charismatic Restoration movement of Arthur Wallis.
