This stood at the junction of Croxteth Road with Brompton Avenue at Croxteth Gate. The church opened in 1875 and in 1882 was large enough to spawn a Mission in Earle Road. The foundation stone for this being laid by Mayor John Hughes J.P. on July 1st of that year.

David Lewis in his Churches of Liverpool quotes the Liverpool Review of 1894 in considering it 'without doubt, the most flourishing centre of religious activity in Liverpool........ The building itself is a handsome one inside and out and is replete with every modern convenience.......the congregation is probably the richest and most influential in Liverpool'

The first Pastor of the Church was the Rev. John Watson (1850-1907) whose induction took place on 30th September 1880. On a similar postcard to the above, the caption reads ' Dr Watson's Church' (John Watson was a novelist (under the name of Ian Maclaren) and a theologian writer).

With declining attendance, the church closed in 1979 and was demolished the following year, when the congregation amalgamated with Toxteth United Reformed (formerly Congregational) Church on Ullet Road. This continues as Toxteth with Sefton Park United Reformed Church. After many years as waste ground the original site is now covered in new housing.

From Liverpool Records Office:

In the mid-19th century Liverpool's Presbyterian churches suffered from "... a crippling disunity". Eventually harmony was achieved and the "... happy union of the two sections of the Presbyterian Church in England, which took place in June 1876, was thought by several of the leading Presbyterians in Liverpool a fitting opportunity to signalise that event by building a Church in some largely-extending district". A committee was formed and a likely area selected, the "... neighbourhood of Sefton Park, which has a rapidly-increasing population, embracing many Presbyterian families, was considered a most promising locality". A "very eligible site" in Croxteth Road was secured "from the Earl of Sefton". The design of the church was opened to competition and a final plan was selected from fourteen entries. The Church opened for worship on Sunday 5th October 1879.

The Church opened two Missions, the Earle Road Mission and the Smithdown Road Church, opened in October 1889, which later achieved independence. In 1917 Sefton Park Presbyterian Church took over the Hyslop Street Presbyterian Mission which had been built in 1858 as the Canning Street Presbyterian Church. The Balfour Institute in Smithdown Road was opened at the end of 1884 as a Boys' Club, initiated by the Minister of the Earle Road Presbyterian Church. The Institute moved to its purpose-built home in Smithdown Road in 1890 and it comprised educational, library and recreational facilities.
