Probably your best bet would be Lancashire Archives n Preston. The mission was part of the parish of St Elphins, there was also St Clements mission in Bank Street.

Some parish records available from here:

can't see anything in the Lancs Archive catalogue. I think more info is held at the Cheshire archives as Warrington transferred to Cheshire

Researching:
Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)

Is this connected, and if so are you looking for a particular person. Appears to have been operating from 1896 - 1924
