There was a memorable service at The Triangle Community Methodist Church on Sunday 17th November 2024, led by Rev Phil Gough who is the new District Secretary in the Ministry & Vocations Hub of the North West England District of the Methodist Church. This new district came in to being in September 2024.

The preacher was Mrs Caroline Godfrey, the Vice President of the Methodist Conference for 2024/2025. Caroline is also the District Safeguarding Officer for both Darlington and Newcastle Methodist Districts, and a Local Preacher. Her background is in pastoral care and child protection within education.

The Triangle Community Methodist Church celebrated  its 10-year anniversary with a number of events in October 2024.

There was an afternoon tea, a golf club evening, and an Anniversary Service on Sunday 20th October led by Rev Ken Howcroft, who performed the opening service in 2014. This time he was assisted by Rev Robert Kasema and Rev Dr Andrew Lunn.

A montage of photos set to music showing the build process and some of the church's highlights is available from The Triangle's own website: The Triangle Community Methodist Church | Bolton
