What is the history of the chapel?

Bethesda Congregational Chapel was established in 1850 but the story behind its construction dates back further.  

In 1967, the Declaration of Indulgence allowed nonconformists to no longer have to worship in secret. 

In 1826, people of Clydach and Brynmawr built Siloam Chapel. 

In 1845, a handful of members left Siloam Chapel and constructed the Bethesda in Brynmawr. 

The chapel had it's last service on a Sunday on December 10, 2023.
