Church History

It was founded before 1897. It closed in 1968.

In 1968 St Paul's Presbyterian church, South Shields closed and the congregation united with St John's Presbyterian church. This church was then renamed St Paul and St John Presbyterian Church.

The Presbyterian church was influenced by Calvinism which rejected bishops and believed that the church should be governed by a hierarchy of general assembly, synod, presbytery and kirk sessions attended by ministers and elders of equal rank. Presbyterianism flourished in the 17th and early 18th centuries but in the later 18th century many Presbyterian churches adopted Unitarianism.

In 1972 the Presbyterian Church of England merged with the Congregational Church to form the United Reformed Church.
