Nice to meet you!
Church is looking a little bit different at the moment, but we can stay connected!
HELLO!
We are Bethel Community Church, based in the heart of Newport, South Wales. We love our city and even though we are 130 years old (which is pretty old), our aim is to make a lasting difference to the people around us, in the name of Jesus. We are a diverse, independent church that worships God with faith and action.
In 2018, our building was destroyed by a fire. Still, our church lives on. We are temporarily meeting nearby, while we restore and revive our building, due to re-open in 2022.

EXPLORE
Our mission is to build people and build community. We serve Newport by loving people from all walks of life, practically, spiritually and authentically.
Refugee
Newport is currently home to about 450 asylum seekers and a larger number of refugees. Refugees and Asylum Seekers are welcome as a valued part of our Church family. Support is available to all faiths (and none) during the week at The Sanctuary, run by our partner charity The Gap Wales.
be
It is our heart and intention that we create space and opportunities for you to come and be who you are as you discover more of God while we as women of Bethel grow together in friendship and faith. We meet to look at the Word of God, to share and encourage each other in our journey and discover more of God’s heart.
Little Oaks
Little Oaks is more than just a parent-toddler group. Our aim is to welcome you, support you (and sometimes even pamper you!) providing parents with some time to breathe, enjoy an adult conversation and a coffee. We have regular help from our local masseuse, petting zoo and more to ensure both kids and adults have a great time!
We believe in God and we believe in people. Together we can make a real and lasting difference in our community.
CONNECT
Ask a question or arrange to talk to someone. We have a helpful team who can welcome, support and pray.
