Longholme Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church in the centre of Rawtenstall, Rossendale, Lancashire.

Dating from 1842, the Grade II listed building has a prominent classical stone façade, with four columns supporting a triangular pediment above the main entrance.

The church stands within its own grounds, which include a war memorial and burial area.

Longholme Methodist Church forms part of Rawtenstall’s religious and architectural heritage, reflecting the importance of Methodist worship in the town during the nineteenth century.

The present church opened on 18 March 1842, replacing an earlier chapel associated with the development of Longholme Cotton Mill. Built at a cost of £7,000, it originally accommodated 1,300 worshippers.
