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 our 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 when we gather around the preaching of the Word, and express our praise and worship to the Lord in song and prayer. On Wednesday evening we meet around God's Word for study and prayer.
The songs/hymns are led by our organist or by our guitar group, who practice on a Wednesday evening before Bible Study.
Achievements and Performance
We are a Chapel in Mid-Wales with a membership of 18. We love the Lord Jesus Christ, and long for people to see the good news of His gospel in what we say and what we do. Since employing a full-time minister in 2021(Rev. Simon Facer) we have engaged in several outreach ideas: activities specifically aimed at engaging the local community. These have included things like BBQ's, meals, quizzes, walks and bonfires.
We have taken opportunities to help our local community, and the wider world, by taking up collections for the food bank and the Ukraine crisis. Every year we have a joint Carol service at Pant-y-dwr Hall. This is done with Bwlch-y-Sarnau Baptist Chapel and Sychnant Presbyterian Church and it is usually well attended.
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.
