Find Hope and have lunch

One thing COVID has taught us – life is fragile and we all need hope.

So why not join us on Sunday 9 January at 10:30am for our special Sunday service on what the Bible says about how you can have real hope? And a free delicious lunch will be served afterwards.

No cost. No dress code. Everyone is welcome – whether you’ve ever been to church or not, you are warmly invited!

Space is limited and, although the service and lunch are free, booking is essential. Book now here.

We are also running a short relaxed free course called Hope Explored – find out more and join us!

If you’re unable to join us in person, you can watch our service online on Facebook or YouTube.

Fellowship groups
In the first week of each month, we meet for fellowship groups — a smaller version of our regular Bible Study and prayer meeting, where it's easy to ask and answer questions, share prayer requests, and pray for one another. We have three groups, two in Clydach and one in Trebanos.

Colin’s story

“Unlike alcohol, success or sport, turning to Jesus has brought me true and lasting happiness”

Being Detective Sergeant in the Drugs Squad was challenging work and I spent a lot of time in pubs and clubs where the drug users were. I knew the drug users never found happiness through taking drugs — indeed, many ended their lives. It was such a contrast to the young people at Bethel, whose faces radiated such joy and happiness. Then at a New Year’s Eve service, I heard these words of Jesus: "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest". I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour there and then, and became a new person. My life had changed. I used to drink and I enjoyed smoking but I no longer wanted to do those things and gave them up immediately. What God had given me was so much more wonderful than anything the world had to offer. I went for a walk on the first morning of 1978 and I remember breathing in the pure fresh air and thinking how wonderful creation was. It was a new year and I was a new person.
