The Junction 28 Church, South Normanton

The Junction 28 Church,
The Common / Coronation Drive, DE55 2EP,
South Normanton, Derbyshire.

Cemeteries

We believe the Church does NOT have a graveyard.
Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in the 1940s, and we understand it is still open.

The Junction 28 Church is so called because of its location adjacent to Junction 28 on the M1 Motorway. According to information on the churchinsight.com website in 2013, when I prepared this account, it had then been in existence for over 65 years "from its inception as an outreach mission centre, through the initial leadership of George Oldershaw (aka the missionary who stayed at home) through to life today… This makes its foundation in the 1940s, but this must have been under a different name, as that was before the Motorway was built!
More recently (2018) I have learned from J28 Church website that it was named The Revival Centre when its first purpose built facility was opened in 1955. Today however they have an attractive new (in 2012) building, opened on the same site, which as it happens is (in 2018) also recorded on the website of "Permarock", a designer and supplier of external wall insulation and exterior render systems.

Denomination

Now or formerly Assemblies of God.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.

You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.

You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.

You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.

Please note the above provides a search of selected fields in the Derbyshire section of the Places of Worship Database on this site (churchdb.gukutils.org.uk) only. For other counties, or for a full search of the Database, you might like to try the site's Google Custom Search, which includes full webpage content.
