Gidlow is a suburban church, approximately one mile north of Wigan town centre, which is surrounded by housing built in the 1890s and the 1950s, with pockets of recent development. The local population is reasonably stable seeing little movement in and out of the area. The area is well provided with churches as there are fourteen within a one mile radius of Gidlow. The building was modified in 1990 and now consists of an entrance foyer, the main worship area (pictured), a small hall and a meeting room. The main worship area and small hall can be joined to produce a larger worship area when the need arises.
