Nantgwyn Baptist Chapel

Aims and Purposes

The Fellowship at Nantgwyn Baptist Chapel, led by our Minister, Reverend Simon Facer, aim to reach out to the surrounding Community, to share with them the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of a heavenly Father.

Objectives and Activities

Our objective is to honour our Lord in our service of Him, and to glorify Him alone. The Sunday morning service is a time of praise and worship, a time of building up in faith and prayer. On Thursday evening we meet around God's Word for study and prayer.

We have installed a large screen TV in the Chapel to display song words therefore not limiting our repertoire to our hymn book. The songs/hymns are led by our organist or by our guitar group, who practice on a Thursday evening before Bible Study.

Achievements and Performance

We are a Chapel in rural Mid-Wales with a membership of 18. In October 2021 we employed a full-time Minister, Reverend Simon Facer. His leadership will benefit our work in the Community and bring new ideas in our outreach. We hold an annual Carol Service in the Pant-y-dwr Village Hall which is always well attended, attracting people who would not normally come to our Chapel. It is a wonderful time to welcome and share with them. Unfortunately we had to cancel in 2021 due to an increase in Covid cases in our area. The Carol Service is organised jointly with another Baptist Chapel and a local Presbyterian Chapel. Also in December we started “Talking Teas” which are held in the Village Hall when we have tea and cake and chat to anyone who comes along. A time of company and getting to know our neighbours. Pastoral care is provided to the Community as the needs arise and there is always a warm welcome to any services. A cuppa and a chat after the morning service is a time to share fellowship and get to know any newcomers.

Financial review

Our audited accounts are attached. We greatly benefit from two properties which we rent out. They are both older buildings and require maintenance. The main Chapel building is in general good repair. Discussions have started to renew the kitchen area to facilitate more Fellowship meals, e.g. our post Christmas meal.

Reserves Policy

A reserve account C.O.I.F charity account if held for work and repairs on the main chapel building only. Regular payments into this account will be fixed at our next Deacons Meeting.

Volunteers

We would like to thank all our volunteers who work hard to keep our Chapel clean and in good order. Also for our organist and those on the flower rota.
