 The Church of St Andrew was consecrated by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Boyd_Carpenter Bishop of Ripon] on 23rd July 1898. The opening ceremony, which started with a procession, was well attended. At the head of the procession from the Board schools to the church was the Middleton Brass Band, followed by local clergy and officials, and at the rear were the Bishop and the curate of the parish, Rev. G. H. Clark. Other clergy included the Venerable Archdeacon Maude, Shrewsbury; the vicars of Hunslet, Rothwell, Woodlesford, Middleton, Garforth, Kirkstall, Holbeck, St. Silas (Hunslet), St. Barnabas (Holbeck), Gawthorpe, St. Paul (Stanningley), Shadwell, St. Frideswide (Oxford), and the Revs. Hewitt, Sutton, and Street. When the procession reached the church, a petition, signed by the vicar of Middleton (the Hon. and Rev. Henry Lysaght) asking the Bishop to consecrate the church, was presented. After the Deed of Conveyance was presented, the Bishop spoke to the congregation:<ref name="1898 RT" />
 {{Blockquote|text=Dearly beloved in the Lord, forasmuch as devout and holy men, as well under the law as under the Gospel, moved, either by the secret inspiration of the Blessed Spirit, or by express command of God, or by their own reason and sense of the natural decency of things, have erected houses for the public worship of God, and separated them from all profane and common uses in order to fill men's minds with greater reverence for His glorious Majesty, and affect their hearts with more devotion and humility in His service; which pious works have been approved and graciously accepted by our Heavenly Father. Let us not doubt [that] He will also graciously approve this our godly purpose of setting apart this place, in a solemn manner, to the celebration of the several offices of religious worship; and let us faithfully and devoutly beg his blessing on this our undertaking."|source=The Rothwell Times (July 29, 1898)|character=Bishop of Ripon (William Boyd Carpenter)}}
