Welcome to The Merthyr Tydfil Ministry Area

Come to church and be part of our community!

Our Ministry Area stretches from Dowlais to Merthyr Vale and across to Christ Church, with the town in the middle.

Our motto is Friendship, Fellowship, Faith and Fun, and we are on a journey of learning to share all these four things.

We share one faith, but express it slightly differently across our various churches - reflecting the broadness of the Anglican Church.

Whichever congregation you approach, you will receive a very warm welcome, and will quickly find a home among friends.

Don’t be shy!

We look forward to meeting you.
